Steps: 1. Gather a large amount of clay that will be rolled into a flat slab. Be sure you don't roll your clay too thin or too thick. Before using a slab roller flatten your clay so it fits into the roller.
2. Roll your slab using the slab roller or rolling pin
3. Use a rib tool to smooth out the canvas texture.
4. Carefully cut out your sides. Be as accurate as possible so that your box fits together easily. 5. On each side edge (areas that are being connected on the sides, not the top of the box edge), cut a 45° angle. This will help your box fit together almost seamlessly.
6. Score and slip the edges and add a coil.
7. You want your clay to be leather hard so the clay holds itself up during construction.
