Making Cups from Slabs

Everyone needs an awesome cup (or a dozen) and you can make one without a pottery wheel. I’ll show you how to make a template so you can make as many as you want. We’ll use some stamps to add texture for visual interest but you can leave yours smooth if you’d like. So, let’s get started making some cups.

Class will play on our custom platform at www.clayshare.com.
