About
I did this when I was in grad school. After looking at my early work my critiques and communication with the instructors (what little there was...don't get me started) became about language and communication. And this is where the work went. The clay slab was covered with the blue and yellow slips which were burnished with the back of a spoon for many hours (if you've ever seen the black shiny Hopi Indian pottery, this is similar to how they do the finish) and then I spent probably 20 hours 'drawing' in the surface with a needle tool.
