Slab TechniqueSlab technique was mainly used by Mesoamerican Precolombian potters. They were very minor in the culture at the tie though, and weren't widely used. In current times they are gaining a new popularity. The main techniques are using a freshly rolled slab, the clay would still be very wet, and then a leather hard slab, where the clay has been left to dry for a short period of time and is slightly hard.
