Ceramics: Pop Art Slab Box

Your Project:  Pop Art Slab Box

You are going to create a hard slab box in the style of Pop Art.  You will learn how to properly dry our pieces, cut them to precise measurements, and construct without cracking.  You will also learn how to transfer images onto leather hard clay for a repeated Pop Art design.

Sketch:

Dimensions -- You will need to figure out the dimensions of your slab box.  You have to take into consideration the thickness of the clay when creating the sides.  You also need to measure for a lid.


Design -- You will need to choose 1 image to duplicate on all 4 sides of your box (5 if you want to put it on the lid).  It can be an image from popular culture, or a portrait of someone/something that you want to colorize in Pop Art colors!
