How to make a CUP: slab building technique

Hello everyone! in this video I show how to make the clay structure of a cup using the slab building technique (To be able to use it, you must fire it... and glaze it)
This is one of the techniques that I enjoy the most and the one that I find most useful

(the cup is 8 cm high and its walls are 6 mm thick. The circle that I cut for the base has a diameter of 6 cm)

Materials used in this video:
-White low fire clay (1040°)
-Slip
-Water
-Sponge
-Cardboard
-Wooden rolling pin
-6 mm/8 mm thick rods
-Rib
-Needle tool
-Cutter
-Rule
-Brushes
-Spatula
-Plastic letters

*Some general answers:*

-I got the plastic letters at a bakery supply store, originally they are to write on cookies

-The liquid clay is called slip, and it is made of clay + water

- In this video I only show how to make the structure of the cup, in order to drink from it... it must be fired and glazed. Soon I will make a video showing in detail the glaze process!

This is the most aesthetic pottery making video I've ever seen -- very beautiful work, and beautifully filmed!

I had never tried pottery before, but I managed to figure out how to make a little cylindrical birdhouse, based on how you made the mug. I'm super chuffed with my first attempt, so thank you for such a clear video.

My toxic trait is thinking I can do this at the first try

[helenangus]

Love your confident approach to making mugs, handles have always been my challenge. Thank you.

Love the way you work so clean. When I make pots (admittedly, I throw), I look like I've been dipped in a tub of slip.

[fruitlessbeast]

I know how you do the pottery . What I don’t understand is how do you stay so clean and tidy? You’re amazing!

Благодарю Вас.Чистая и нежная работа.❤❤❤

[vonyoki]

[FlorinGN]

So much dexterity... You actually made a perfect cylinder with bare hands 😮

This is the smoothest cup i've seen without a wheel, amazing job ☆☆

[hobbyhermit]

I've been sort of binge watching pottery videos the past couple of days. Yours is the nicest of the slab built cups I've seen yet. 👍👍
Thanks for sharing.

The slab technique is so much fun when I had done this back in the falls semester of community college/university.

💚Эта работа прекрасна! У Вас золотые руки, спасибо за то, что делитесь!

Is the clay leather hard when you attach the base to the walls, or is it still quite soft? i'm impressed at how smooth the clay is throughout this entire process. I always get little nicks and dents everywhere.

What an artist!!! It looks like it could come out of a How it's Made episode showing a factory churning out thousands of them in a day.🎊
