With a class maximum of 4 people, you will expand on your beginner’s skills to explore the different techniques used for developing, designing and building a slab box. You will have an opportunity to explore the use of a slab roller, rolling guides, rolling pins and/or kidney tools to roll a perfect slab every time which is the foundation for your lidded box.
