This week, I finally made my slab for my actual slab pots. I have been pushing this project back because I am not a big fan of slab pots ( I prefer pinch pots or coil pots or anything other than slab pots). I made the base plate ( the bottom slab where all the walls sit on top) and some of my walls, and I used a water bottle that I stole to create the round wall that goes around the pillar thingie. ( check the picture for reference)
The clay slab building is such a long complicated process. You have to knead the clay till all the moisture is absorbed in to the wedging table, and then you have to roll it using the slab roller that takes forever ( the clay for me always gets stressed out and all cracky and crinkly, which I get very very frustrated about) I made almost all of the walls, which is around 7 + one big slab.

Last week during lunar, our family got to go to Sok-cho. I actually have no idea where that is in term of the map, but I just know that it's Sok-cho because my mom said it a couple thousand times. We got to go to the east sea, where Cookie and Prim got to run around, and then we went to this birch forest (which was super pretty because it snowed). The magazine that my mom saw the picture from didn't warn us about the 1 hr hike up to the forest though, so it was really mentally challenging.
