CONE 5, exposed clay and commercial underglaze glazes (two separate applications at bisque temperatures)

Roll out a ¼" (.63 cm)- to ½" (1.3 cm)-thick slab. Make it large enough that you can cut out a rectangle 8" (20.3 cm) tall x 6" (15.2 cm) wide. (When rolling out a fresh slab of clay, use about 1½" [3.8 cm] of clay from the end of your clay bag; this should give you the right size of finished slab to complete most projects.)

Bevel both the short edges, so they will overlap. Score and wet one side. Using both hands, stand the slab up gently and bring together and attach the beveled/scored edges, making a wide tube shape. [A] Clean up and compress the seam, inside and out.
