Five Agateware Paterns for Slab Method Pottery

I was inspired recently in my work by the different patterns in Damascus Steel. Most of my agateware up until 2 days ago was rather random like the agate stone. I have made the shift in my work from the random patterns, to slightly deformed geometric designs. When I figure out how to join the different pieces without any deformation, I will likely write a post on how to do it. The five patterns I will give directions for here are Vertical Bars, Ladder Pattern, Raindrop Pattern, Seigaiha Pattern (AKA "Waves"), and the Cherokee Friendship Pattern (commonly incised on Cherokee Pottery).
