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. 🥰

[@taabikhan5674]

Me too !! 😂😂😂 But trust me it's too difficult! I have tried with dry clay

[@iLexy3]

From my experience, having this mindset is how you succeed. So long as you still think you can do it even if you fail. 💜

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

I know how you do the pottery . What I don’t understand is how do you stay so clean and tidy? You’re amazing!

[@MrSonofsonof]

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.

[@TheLMMish]

Can you actually drink from it? How long does it hold water? Any limitations on temperature?

[@fatemaexo-l1256]

Such a beautiful video 💙💙🥺 I have a question about this type of clay in general? After it dries is it suitable for using it? Like for example here can we use this mug to drink in it? Or use it for other purposes only?

[@davielawrence3773]

It needs to be fired in a special oven, called a kiln. Maybe there's a pottery studio nearby who lets you use some space

[@christynrebmann9127]

It would also need to be glazed for it to be food safe.

[@yuliamoroz4667]

I love how neat and smooth your technique! What substance do you use when when glue pieces together?

[@barira2995]

it’s called slip - basically the same type of clay mixed with water to create a paste, helps meld the pieces together

[@UmiCeramics]

Thank you!! ♥! Yes, it's exactly what Barira said, it's called slip and it's clay mixed with water. I leave you this video where I show how to do it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oKPSe3yFq5yeq7c

[@manir6364]

@@UmiCeramics Hello the last part when you show the cup is the cup already fired ? is it an obligation to fire it ? or its not useable if we dont fire it ?

[@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

[@shaimak4252]

The artwork of this mug is amazing and so satisfying. Wanted to know which colors to use for such mugs and is kiln necessary to have? Or is there any other clay which can work without kiln and makes such mugs?

[@AMTunLimited]

@4:30 with the little mini trowel, are you spreading on slip or just smoothing the clay that's already there? It looked thicker than the slip you were using before

[@petershields9967]

What an artist!!! It looks like it could come out of a How it's Made episode showing a factory churning out thousands of them in a day.🎊

[@lilicalm8911]

This was so good! I decided to start making my own mugs and this is perfect to start! Question, do you own a specific oven to fire what you make ?

[@emcook8024]

For firing mugs you need a kiln. If you don't have one I suggest finding out if there is a studio near you that would allow you to use some kiln space.

How do you get into this hobby? The need for a kiln seems like a limiting factor but maybe there are ways to use someone else's or businesses?

Hey just wanted to know if i can use these for drinking coffee in and if they are microwave safe? Btw the mug turned out gorgeous. Damn nice work. May God Bless You 🥰

[@UmiCeramics]

Hi! thank you for your beautiful words ♥♥♥! This is the clay structure of the cup. It requires a bisque firing, a layer of alkaline glaze and a second firing. It will be food/microwave safe only after doing the whole process *I leave you this video in which I show the entire process! kzbin.info/www/bejne/jl7LhnWpmZ6ZZ9k

[@violetsands]

@@UmiCeramics just a note from one potter to another you cannot say someting is food safe unless it has been sent to a lab to test. Uneven firing, some clay materials and some colourants may not be food safe under certain conditions. Some ready made glazes will say food safe on them but that is only on the basis that you follow their firing schedule and clay body to the letter. In this day and age of suing and compensation i would be very careful of saying something is food safe once glazed and fired.

[@calieandco]

Air pockets don't cause pieces to burst in the kiln. A piece will burst when it has not been fully dried and it is fired. This is seen more commonly with pieces that have air pockets because it takes them much longer to dry, and they are put in a kiln before they're ready. Here's a video by Pottery to the People that explains and tests this myth: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gWXTY6V6rNqIh7M
