Story Box Vocabulary

Leather-hard When clay is left to air-dry for a

short time, it becomes leather-hard in consistency. Leather-hard clay can be slightly manipulated (carved or added to using slip and score) but if bent will crack and break. When the clay is at this level of dryness, it is able to stand on end in order to construct containers.

Coil Reinforcement When constructing slab

containers, it is important to reinforce each angled seam with a clay coil. This is pressed and blended into the seam to create strength and stability.

Mitered Joint When connecting two clay

slabs to create an angle or corner, you may choose to miter the edge before connecting. For example, to create a 90o corner, you would miter two slabs at roughly 45o each.

Theme By definition, theme refers to a

subject or topic of artistic representation. In this case, each of the four themes you choose will be a different characteristic or a representation of you. Example: Athlete, Musician,

Religious, Artist, Family, Friend, Student, etc…

Story Box Steps

Sketches and Templates Begin by sketching and choosing a form and size for

your box. Create a template for each side out of paper (note:

you could technically only need to make 2 templates for all 6 sides)

Design each side of your box to scale (one page of sketchbook per side).

Instructor Approval Design choice must be approved by me before

creation of the final working template Begin pressing slabs on the slab roller for each

side (1/2” slabs). Remember to roll your slabs in the opposite direction with a rolling pin. Trace your template with a needle tool and cut out

your sides with a clay knife. Smooth surface of each side slab using a metal or

wooden rib. After you have pressed, traced, and cut each slab,

wrap edges tightly with plastic strips and let them sit out exposed to the air until the end of class.

Cover with a plastic bag before leaving.
