Episode 87. How to Make Perfectly Flat Pottery
Flat rolled out clay has a very annoying tendency to curl up as it dries!
In this episode I talk about the three things I do in my pottery to make ‘perfectly’ flat (although nothing in pottery is ever perfect!), drinks coasters.
✔️ Wedging (or kneading) the clay very well before making anything.
✔️ Rolling the clay out at an even thickness using rolling guides.
✔️ The importance of gently compressing the wet clay as it dries.
