Episode 84. Is This The Most Useful Pottery Tool Ever?!

In this episode, I talk to you about the 6 different ways in which I use my favourite pottery tool - a cotton tea towel!

💡 - To reclaim wet clay on.


💡 - To wedge (or knead) clay on to remove excess water from clay that’s a little bit too wet.


💡 - As a rolling cloth when rolling out clay.

💡 - Between pieces of wet flat clay as it’s drying.

💡 - In a technique to make a perfectly flat rim or base of a pot.

💡 - To remove condensation in a damp box when drying clay slowly and evenly.
