87: How to Make Perfectly Flat Pottery
from Oxford Clay · host Katherine Tomlinson
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.You can watch the video version of this episode on YouTube.✨Support the Podcast: https://www.oxfordclay.co.uk/support-------------------------------Resources for Potters:⭐ Pottery Paperback Books available from AmazonFree Pottery Guides:🆓 Download the Free How to Make a Pottery Glaze Workbook (suitable for beginners):🆓 Download the Free How to programme an Electric Kiln for bisque and stoneware glaze firings (includes full kiln firing schedule)------------------------------------
