“The pieces fit. Tones attract. Not all fit in harmony, some accept the company, others turn away. Place the right piece, but you know that this piece marks the direction of the end . the fragments escape, slip, fall down and many are broken. one by one. one plus one. lace. lace. lace. Feel the pleasure of the fit, agile and fast. a magic moment: everything fits. Everything flows. “

slabs can be used to create any form, any size. When Daryl E. Baird took

explore it in depth then open the doors for others to enjoy. In From a Slab of Clay
you’ll learn about what it takes to start out on a journey that’s sure
to last a lifetime. From setting up a proper working space to selecting
the right tools and equipment—including complete instructions for
building your own slab roller—Daryl doesn’t miss any details for you to
consider to assure your success.”
