Sketching Out a Template for a Butter Dish with Cardstock

Slab building is so fun because you can essentially create any form you can dream up. And if you make templates, you can repeat the forms consistently. But sometimes it is difficult to figure out what template you need to build the form you are picturing in your mind. 

In this post, an excerpt from his Workshop from Home video, Brenton Duhan shares how he uses card stock to develop his template. Cardstock works great because it's inexpensive, stiff enough to help you visualize your form, and you can easily cut and paste to tweak your design to your liking. - Jennifer Poellot Harnetty, editor
