The document describes the process of slab construction in ceramic hand-building. It outlines 5 key steps: 1) Squish it - Roll out the clay slab to a uniform thickness using a roller, pin, or hands. 2) Score and slip it - Score both pieces to be joined and apply slip for adhesion. 3) Snake it - Create a reinforced edge using a coil and tool to ensure no trapped air. 4) Smooth it - Use tools and fingers to smooth edges and remove excess, being careful not to use too much slip. 5) Style it - Add personal touches and details to tell a story or message.
