Dinner plates and butter dishes along with the 16 oz. coffee mug that provided Sue with the fuel for a morning's work. 
  1. Prepared the slab roller and rolled out the clay between canvas to a thickness suitable for dinnerware (the top roller is adjustable).
  2. Cleaned the canvas imprint off the clay with a scraper (actually a repurposed paint edger).
  3. Cut out the shapes and draped them over the plaster molds Sue made and rounded the edges.
