Some people work on the wheel, others use molds to go faster. For my part, I chose the slab method.  <\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a freer, more intuitive technique. It allows for small variations, traces of the hand, that lively quality I love to find in each piece. Nothing is fixed, nothing is completely identical. And that&#8217;s precisely where it all comes together.   <\/p>\n<p>In my workshop, every cup begins the same way: a mass of clay, still raw, still full of possibilities.<\/p>\n<h2>Preparing the Clay Slab<\/h2>\n<p>To start making a ceramic cup, I begin by passing the clay through a slab roller. It&#8217;s a simple, yet essential machine that allows me to obtain a large, even slab. <\/p>\n<p>The movement is almost mechanical, but my gaze remains attentive. The thickness must be just right: neither too thin nor too thick. It&#8217;s a balance I adjust almost by feel, with practice.  <\/p>\n<p>Once the slab is ready, I don&#8217;t touch anything else. This is an often invisible, but fundamental step. I wait.  <\/p>\n<p>The clay slowly evolves. It dries, hardens, changes texture. And then comes that precise moment: the leather-hard consistency. It&#8217;s a somewhat magical instant when the clay becomes perfect for working.   <\/p>\n<p>It no longer sticks to the fingers, but it remains flexible. It still accepts being formed without resistance. If I work it too early, it deforms. Too late, it breaks. You have to hit the right moment.    <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-19949 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/grandchose.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/fabrication-tasse-ceramique-3.jpg\" alt=\"ceramic cup making steps\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1123\" srcset=\"https:\/\/grandchose.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/fabrication-tasse-ceramique-3.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/grandchose.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/fabrication-tasse-ceramique-3-980x1101.jpg 980w, https:\/\/grandchose.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/fabrication-tasse-ceramique-3-480x539.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1000px, 100vw\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Cutting the Shapes at the Right Time<\/h2>\n<p>When the clay is ready, I move on to cutting.<\/p>\n<p>I use templates, which I place directly on the slab. It&#8217;s a simple, but very precise gesture. Each cut shape will be the starting point of the cup.  <\/p>\n<p>Flat cutting has something very graphic about it. The pieces appear one by one, as if they were already there, hidden in the slab. <\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s also a moment where I deliberately slow down. A poorly made cut will inevitably show later. Here, I&#8217;m preparing for what&#8217;s next.  <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-19948\" src=\"https:\/\/grandchose.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/fabrication-tasse-ceramique-2.jpg\" alt=\"making a ceramic cup\" width=\"1000\" height=\"626\" srcset=\"https:\/\/grandchose.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/fabrication-tasse-ceramique-2.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/grandchose.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/fabrication-tasse-ceramique-2-980x613.jpg 980w, https:\/\/grandchose.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/fabrication-tasse-ceramique-2-480x300.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1000px, 100vw\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Giving Volume to the Cup<\/h2>\n<p>Once the shapes are cut, I give them volume. This is a step I particularly enjoy. <\/p>\n<p>I take each slab and gently curve it. No sudden movements. The clay must follow, not be forced. It retains a memory, and if you force it, it shows.   <\/p>\n<p>To achieve a regular shape, I work around a cylinder. It guides the curve, allowing for that simple and balanced silhouette. <\/p>\n<p>In parallel, I prepare the bases of the cups. I shape them separately, then I apply the Grandchose seal. It&#8217;s a small, almost discreet imprint, but it&#8217;s part of every piece.  <\/p>\n<p>At this point, the cup truly begins to exist.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-19947\" src=\"https:\/\/grandchose.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/fabrication-tasse-ceramique-1.jpg\" alt=\"ceramic cup making\" width=\"1000\" height=\"626\" srcset=\"https:\/\/grandchose.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/fabrication-tasse-ceramique-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/grandchose.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/fabrication-tasse-ceramique-1-980x613.jpg 980w, https:\/\/grandchose.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/fabrication-tasse-ceramique-1-480x300.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1000px, 100vw\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Assembling and Solidifying the Piece<\/h2>\n<p>Assembly is undoubtedly the most delicate step in making a ceramic cup.<\/p>\n<p>I connect the different parts with slip, a liquid clay paste made from the same clay. This is what will allow the piece to become solid, as if it had always been a single block. <\/p>\n<p>I work with simple gestures: pressing, smoothing, adjusting. The wooden spatula is my main tool here. <\/p>\n<p>You have to find the right balance: press firmly enough to join, but without deforming. It&#8217;s a work of precision, but also of feel. <\/p>\n<p>Thanks to the leather-hard consistency, the clay accepts this assembly without losing its shape. This is what allows for a stable cup, free of tension. <\/p>\n<h2>Refining with Trimming<\/h2>\n<p>Once the cup is assembled, I move on to trimming.<\/p>\n<p>This is a somewhat distinct step, where I use the wheel, not to shape the piece, but to refine it.<\/p>\n<p>I remove excess material, soften the lines, balance the proportions. I mainly work on the edges and the base to give a cleaner finish. <\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a calmer, almost meditative moment. It&#8217;s all about the details. About adjustment.  <\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s often here that the cup finds its true presence.<\/p>\n<h2>Drying Time<\/h2>\n<p>Once the cups are finished, they need to dry.<\/p>\n<p>This is an unseen but essential step in making a ceramic cup.<\/p>\n<p>The clay must lose its moisture slowly. Too fast, it cracks. Not enough, it remains fragile.  <\/p>\n<p>In the workshop, I monitor without intervening. I sometimes adjust the environment, but mostly I let time do its work. <\/p>\n<p>This phase requires patience. And in an artisanal process, patience is part of the result. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-19951 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/grandchose.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/fabrication-tasse-ceramique-5.jpg\" alt=\"shaped cup\" width=\"1000\" height=\"747\" srcset=\"https:\/\/grandchose.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/fabrication-tasse-ceramique-5.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/grandchose.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/fabrication-tasse-ceramique-5-980x732.jpg 980w, https:\/\/grandchose.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/fabrication-tasse-ceramique-5-480x359.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1000px, 100vw\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Slab Method or Wheel Throwing: Two Different Approaches<\/h2>\n<p>People often ask me why I don&#8217;t use the wheel to make my cups.<\/p>\n<p>Wheel throwing produces very regular, very symmetrical pieces. It&#8217;s an impressive technique, almost mesmerizing to watch. But it also results in a smoother, more standardized finish.  <\/p>\n<p>With the slab method, the result is different.<\/p>\n<p>The lines are a little freer, the shapes slightly unique. You might see a variation, a detail that changes from one piece to another. This isn&#8217;t a flaw; it&#8217;s precisely the appeal.  <\/p>\n<p>This is what gives it that handmade look, that lively character.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not looking for industrial perfection. I&#8217;m looking for a form that is just right, balanced, but with a presence. A cup that has something extra, without necessarily being able to explain it.  <\/p>\n<h2>More Than Just a Cup<\/h2>\n<p>Ultimately, making a ceramic cup isn&#8217;t just a series of steps.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s an accumulation of small choices, repeated gestures, and attention paid to every detail.<\/p>\n<p>Each cup that emerges from this first shaping phase is already unique. But it&#8217;s not yet finished. It still needs to undergo a first firing, then receive <a href=\"https:\/\/grandchose.com\/en\/creativity-and-constraints-why-i-chose-blue-artisanal-ceramics\/\">its decoration with pencil or brush<\/a>, be glazed, and finally be fired a second time.  <\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s only at the end of this entire process that the piece becomes complete.<\/p>\n<p>And that&#8217;s exactly what I want to convey.<\/p>\n<p>A simple, everyday object, but one that carries within it time, material&#8230; and a whole series of invisible steps that give it its character.<\/p>\n<p>\u2192 <a href=\"https:\/\/grandchose.com\/en\/product-category\/stoneware-tableware\/stoneware-mugs-cups\/\">Discover the entire range of ceramic cups and mugs<\/a><\/p>\n<span class=\"et_bloom_bottom_trigger\"><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From raw clay to the shaped, ready-to-fire cup: discover how a ceramic cup is made in my workshop in Provence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":21292,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[57],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-21291","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-making-studio"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>The Steps of Making a Ceramic Cup | Grandchose<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"From raw clay to the shaped, ready-to-fire cup: discover how a ceramic cup is made in my workshop in Provence.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/grandchose.com\/en\/the-steps-of-making-a-ceramic-cup\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"The Secret of Grandchose Cups: The Slab Method.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Today, I&#039;m taking you behind the scenes of the workshop to show you how Grandchose cups come to life.
