Box

This project was probably the project that took the longest time, for it had various steps. I started by rolling out a big slab of clay, just like the mug. Then I measured it and cut out four squares. Then I let them dry until they were leather hard and then we slipped and scored all the sides together. Creating a box withe a bottom and a lid. Then after we connected it, I added various decorations on all sides to make it pretty. When I finished that I fired it once, then glazed it with high fire glazes and fired it again. I think the box was one of my best projects for the paint and overall shape was very neat. However the lid sunk into the box when it was fired, causing it to have a slanted and curved shape
