Process & Production

Working with this technique require correctly rolled slabs this can be achieved via a slab roller or using a rolling pin, but taking steps like guides to maintain an even slab and turning the sheet of clay a quarter inch each roll. Between each roll a kidney should be used to reinforce the surface and further compress the clay.
