Slab Letter

A slab letter is an artistic way to express and display what you or a loved one like.

Get clay and apply pressure to make clay flat enough to be able to enter the slab roller.

Locate the clay directly under the slab roller

Move the wheel in a circular motion twice in opposite directions to be able to flatten the clay

Your piece of clay should look this flat

Smooth out your piece of clay to be able to work with it easier

Select your desired letter and trace with a pen

Remove any extra clay that is around the letter

This what your final result should look like after cutting out the extra clay

Place your piece of clay inside a bag with paper. This step is really helpful because the clay won't be too soft or too hard.

Make another slab. Cut out strips the width of a ruler.

Score and Slip the strips onto the letter. Use vinegar as glue.

Keep on adding strips until you have made a "wall" around the letter.

Cut out another letter then score and slip onto the wall

paint and design your letter as wished
