Episode 9: The Magic of a Damp-Box 

 

What they are, why they are great and how to make your own!  

Damp-boxes allow Potters to prevent their work from drying out so they can work on it later. They can also help to even out the dryness of pots and prevent cracking. In this episode we talk about damp-boxes, why they are great, and how to make your own very easily and cheaply from a plastic storage box.
