• You will create a slab-constructed lidded box that tells us about you.
• On the outside, you will have imagery that people generally know about you
• On the inside, you will include images about you that may be surprising or that most people don’t know
about you. • You should have at least 2 completed images on the
inside and 3 on the outside• The box itself can be an image or item as well and
counts toward your 3 image minimum on outside

• When using slabs, you will roll out even, flat slabs of clay.
• Slabs should be around ½” thick – thinner will not be sturdy and thicker will be too heavy and clunky
• After you’ve cut out your slabs, you will need to wait a little bit for them to dry. This way, they will not
collapse when you put them together.• Lids should follow the same rule – wait until they are
a little more dry to fit them on top of the box.• All lids should have a foot (a little ring that goes
around the edge to keep the lid from sliding off).

All imagery should be applied and raised, not drawn into the clay – though some decoration can be carved

When attaching slabs:1. Slab goes ON TOP of base
2. Always use slip and a small coil at the seam
