Early in July 2019, I stumbled across a great Youtube video on how to
build a hard slab box. I couldn't find anyone in the studio to teach me
so I set about following the instructions on the videos (there were 6 of
them) to make what I ended up calling my Zen box. Each side makes up one
word in the message: Now Is All There Is.
And instead of signing it Sara, it is signed No One.
This was so much fun (though it took a week to build and many many hours
after that to glaze it) that I
had to make another. This time I made a textured unlidded box out of red
clay for my husband Walter.
The first one collasped but the second try it came out okay.
And this led to the luminaria project which is based on the same box
technique just taken to a new level.
