I have a very large broken piece of a garden pot. i wanted to find out if it would be possible to use it as a slab. ive searched to see if anyone else has done this before, but i can't find anything on here. i was wondering if i would need to drill a hole in the bottom. Or, i was thinking of welding a metal stand so it can hold the pottery piece at an angle. that way the excess water could drain off the edge. any tips or help would be great.

Robert Steven actually uses some broken pots in some of work. __________________ "Although profoundly "inconsequential," the Zen experience has consequences in the sense that it may be applied in any direction, to any conceivable human activity, and that wherever it is so applied it lends an unmistakable quality to the work." ~ Alan Watts (1915-1973)
