E87 - 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.

✔️ Rolling the clay out at an even thickness using rolling guides. 

✔️ The importance of gently compressing the wet clay as it dries.
