I have such an awful time trying to make slabs using a rolling pin or a slab roller and last night I tried this technique with great success! Thank you! The best slabs I've ever made!

Great video! I have a big slab roller and use it all the time. Best money ever spent! I work large hand building projects, so need large expanses of rolled out clay. Too much strain on the body to do it by hand. But this is useful for smaller projects and for those who don't intend on working big.

@ivonne2587 2 года назад

What brand of slab roller do you have? I also work with big slabs and rolling them out by hand is literally killing mybhands

@retiredusn3701 2 года назад

@@ivonne2587 I bought it from Axner Pottery - I believe it was their brand....it looks exactly like the Shimpo roller on their website ($983). I paid $700 for it about 10 years ago.

Sorry, could you repeat that part about the roller, do we have to use it?

@pogmofoil 3 года назад

Yeah I’m not clear on that part. We do or do not need a roller?

@wiros8101 3 года назад

Was he not clear? Before starting any pottery project you must throw a roller multiple times to appease the pottery gods. If you have no rollers to sacrifice you might as well forget it.

@courtneydemmitt-rice737 3 года назад

Does this method eliminate the need for wedging?

I still wedge the air bubbles out. But making even slabs is easy with this method.

@AbnormalArtsDOTcom 4 года назад

Who'd a thought?? Great technique. I'm subscribing. I tried my pasta machine because I'm making thin pieces, however... with canvas on both sides of my clay, the pasta machine does not have a setting that would make my clay thick enough.. but it does make it super thin... lol. Hey Jon.. thanks again hun!

@visceratrocar 6 лет назад

Slabs are my favorite way to sculpt. Most sculptors prefer coilwork for larger pieces, but I've found a moderately stiff slab is MUCH easier to work with. If you let it dry enough it will hold its own weight better than coils because coils have to be done fresh. I HATE fresh clay. I don't do throwing, though, so that might be why :)

@kleineoOoStern Год назад

Really interesting ! Do you have a shop or else where we can see your work ? 😊

@credmon3346 3 года назад

Thank you that was very helpful, are usually use a couple of pieces of sticks in my rolling pin. I will try this

@janmuylllaert4266 3 года назад

stick some cloth on your pin with contact glue , the clay will act the same as it does on your table

@clayslap2197 2 года назад

Inspiring! From a fellow clay slapper.

@rondacorkhill1654 3 года назад

perfect explanation! No wedging necessary? Is that because as you throw it down, it likely compresses?

@Jonthepotter 6 лет назад

I used to add coils for the feet but now I don't even do that, I just keep the bottom flat and smooth it out with a sponge! We use them everyday at the coffeehouse so we break them frequently so I don't spend tooo much time on them:) Happy potting!

@micheledickey4066 3 года назад

Most tables are made of wood and then it is covered tightly with canvas fabric. The only problem with this is that the canvas creates a lot of dust which is very very harmful to your health.

@jasonwilliams6475 2 года назад

@Suus2023 2 года назад

You can staple it at the side or bottom

@zaviahopethomas-woundedsou9848 5 лет назад

You can throw large pieces of clay on a concrete floor and it works well. You just separate your feet and let the clay hit the ground about 16 - 24 inches from your feet and flow between your feet. It works well.

@Jonthepotter 5 лет назад

Ooo, haven't tried that method, might have to!

@@Jonthepotter yes Jon and it cleans the floor too as well as picks up all those discarded cigarette butts and weed roaches too lol i guess a little dirt in the mix wont make it blow when it goes into the kiln....well maybe not ... you should try it in rough gravel and see the cool textures that come up .: )

@lukewilson6132 5 лет назад

Do you put sand under them to reduce resistance / drag on the kiln shelf?

@@channelMEARCyes I do! I’m guessing it’sa fast firing or cool down issue. It’s a very small kiln and it’s probably too much stress that way.

slip is water and clay.. usaly left over from trowing on a wheel but i put sometimes little bits of clay in a jar whit some water and vinigar ( sticks a lot better) .. leave this for a day or so.. shake as well and you can use this for glue for handbuilding. each clay has is own jar whit slip.
