Slab technique is one of the constructive methods of building pot and sculptures. You can use the slabs while the clay is soft, coaxing then to take the desired form and possibly using some of sort of support. You can roll them out, cut them to the desired shape, and then allow them to stiffen to leather-hard consistency and attach them to each other to create hard edge forms. This method requires advance planning, since you will need to measure and cut the slabs carefully so that they fit cleanly and tightly.
