I plan to use my piece as a keep safe box. I plan on finishing my piece completing a bisque fire and then painting the craving with green and gold. The rest of the box will be painted white and to fully finish the piece a gloss will be sprayed on.
I found creating the box's sides themselves very hard. It was difficult to get the four sides to stay up together with the scratch and slip method without messing up the slabs. So far I have found craving my piece to be very successful using two different craving tools. Also the lid to my piece was successful because it has great shape and holds in place correctly. The first step to my piece was to roll at a slab of clay to then cut out my 4 sides. Once I had cut my 4 sides I used the scratch and slip method to connect the pieces together. I then let that set and then cut out the bottom and top to my piece and connected the bottom. I then craved the designs on my greenware. Once the carving was complete the piece was put in the kiln to be bisque fired.
