Pottery Ware Board

Video Transcript

"O.k. so we can't elaborate anymore about making sure that everything is nice and neat, nice and neat before you sit down so you don't have to get up and keep going back and forth to the sink. You want to have everything in order; all your ducks in a row. Once you get in a middle of the pot; you're in the middle of a very important pot and you got to get up and do something across the studio and it's, and you loose focus and your pot's going to go south. So we're going to talk about having the ware board ready and this ware board is what you're going to put your whatever you're making where onto. You're going to transfer it onto this so you can bring it around your studio. Some people they'll want to use, use these things there called bats; and you just keep on transferring from bats. But bats cost a fair amount of money; like this one's almost twenty bucks. So if you got one piece of ware it's not worth it; if you're making a bunch of coffee mugs or a bunch of bowls you want to have a ware boards, you can fill it all up and then you can walk all around the studio; bring it, bring it to glaze. Once you glaze you put it back on the ware board, you can bring it to kiln and you have all your stuff. And it can be this big, it can be as big as you need it to be for whatever production you're going to be doing. Today we're not going to be doing that much of a production; we're just going to do some simple forms, put it on the ware board; transfer it to the working table. And so, I've already got my tools ready and my ware board; I got my good clean water and you want to have a nice clean towel or rag, or scrap of pant leg. You want it, when you get ready you want to have it right there; right there on your leg. So when you go to clean your hands you're not getting it all over your clothes and looking like a dirty potter. Keep it all nice and clean and at his point we're going to be, we going to be ready to throw some cylinders."
