What is the best way to fuse a square with sides

I would like to fuse a square or rectangle plate with 1/2" (?) sides for a mini zen garden. I thought that if I cut and kiln washed a fiberboard square, built my sides around it like you would for a picture frame, then put on the Bottom layer ....temporarily being the top, then ramped up 200dph
hold at 1100 then 200dph to 1350, hold . could or would this work?
I have a square plate slumper but would not be able to have the tall sides I am looking for. These things always sound so good in your head, then reality steps up to the plate

The sides would probably pull away from the top...er, bottom.

Are the sides vertical? If they angle out, why not make a conventional slumping mold, that is, a depression mold out of your fiberboard?
