I made a clay box with a lid. When it is out of the kiln, I will paint it bright colors. I am going to use this for storing supplies (like pencils) inside. I found mostly everything difficult. When merging the sides of the box, I was afraid they were going to break. I had extra clay at the end, so I made a lid topper, which was successful.
I started with a slab of clay for construction of my box. Using a cutting tool, I cut the slab into six pieces. I put together four sides of the box using sprayed water. I put the four merged pieces onto the fifth (bottom) piece. Finally, I used the sixth piece to make the lid, adding the extra piece of clay on top for a lid topper. I used another cutting tool to decorate the whole box. I think my decorations were successful. My greenware is currently being fired in the kiln. I can't wait to see what it looks like when it comes out! When I'm done painting, it is going to look AWESOME!
