Slab Construction There are many components to constructing slab pieces. Here are the steps of constructing a clay house. 1. Wedge clay. 2. Flatten with open palm onto board or canvas, 3. Roll out even slabs using the guide rulers and rolling pins. Make sure that you flip the slab between rolls. 4. Cut slab from your paper "mock up" and use leftovers for the next slab. 5. when all pieces are cut, you will connect all walls to the base. 6. Lid/roof construction will take place the next day. 7. All connections must be scored, slipped, stuck and smoothed. For extra strength add a coil at each connection. 8. Cut windows, doors, and/or details at the wet stage. 9. After all connections are done let clay become leather hard. 10. Add textures and details at this time.
