My first thought when I started my slab vessel was to build a not so difficult form. It would be better for me to start with a "easy" one. So I decided to built a square and to add in the end something at the outside. I began to built with wet and leather hard clay. It was not so easy to built the sides with the wet clay, because they were really weak. I had my plastic bag overnight not completely closed, so the clay was the next day harder and it was easier to built. I started to link the sides and the bottom tile. It was not so difficult for me. I started to make the sides smooth and to add the lines on the outsides. It takes a lot time for me to think about what I want to add at the outsides. My first idea was to add a anchor, but when I built the anchor he broke. So I thought about a pattern and decided to add straight lines.
