How to make a CUP: slab building technique

Hello everyone! in this video I show how to make the clay structure of a cup using the slab building technique (To be able to use it, you must fire it... and glaze it)
This is one of the techniques that I enjoy the most and the one that I find most useful
(the cup is 8 cm high and its walls are 6 mm thick. The circle that I cut for the base has a diameter of 6 cm)
Materials used in this video:
-White low fire clay (1040°)
-Slip
-Water
-Sponge
-Cardboard
-Wooden rolling pin
-6 mm/8 mm thick rods
-Rib
-Needle tool
-Cutter
-Rule
-Brushes
-Spatula
-Plastic letters

*Some general answers:* -I got the plastic letters at a bakery supply store, originally they are to write on cookies -The liquid clay is called slip, and it is made of clay + water - In this video I only show how to make the structure of the cup, in order to drink from it... it must be fired and glazed. Soon I will make a video showing in detail the glaze process!

What clay do you use?

[@ULBEAUTY]

I love this mug! I love it so much I would like to have one just like this… It is a shame I cannot use it or drink from it the way it is as this is the way I like it. Marina, do you have an Insta account or somewhere we can chat? I’d love to have a word or two with you. 🥰

Dónde comprar la arcilla o como buscarla

[@jubs1533]

I had never tried pottery before, but I managed to figure out how to make a little cylindrical birdhouse, based on how you made the mug. I'm super chuffed with my first attempt, so thank you for such a clear video.

[@ScribblebytesWorldwide]

pottery is a gateway mug.

[@emilysartcart]

You'll do great! I believe in you!

[@emilythenormal]

This is the most aesthetic pottery making video I've ever seen -- very beautiful work, and beautifully filmed!

[@UmiCeramics]

Thank youuu! ♥

[@emilysartcart]

I was thinking the same thing!

[@frawe]

You really should watch a video of Florian Gadsby. He makes such beautiful pottery and videos of making it.

I watch this video at least once a day... no joking. love it.

Love the way you work so clean. When I make pots (admittedly, I throw), I look like I've been dipped in a tub of slip.

Wow that looks doable!!! I will give it a try

[@kramsath]

Is the clay leather hard when you attach the base to the walls, or is it still quite soft? i'm impressed at how smooth the clay is throughout this entire process. I always get little nicks and dents everywhere.

[@jk5kwastaken]

This is what I am wondering
