Other Helpful Tips When Using Your Slab Roller

Purchase extra canvas covered shims and top canvas if:

• Using very wet clay
• Rolling slabs continuously
• Changing clay bodies (shims used for red clay, should not be used for white clay later)
• The shape of the clay placed on the roller bed will determine the shape of the slab produced.

A Clay rectangle with the narrow end against the roller will produce a long, narrow slab.

Reduce the stress on the cables by angling the clay placed on the bed against the roller. Limiting the height of the clay to 2 1/2-3 inches will also reduce the stress on the cables.

Use smaller heavy canvases on slab roller bed.

Using a smaller heavy canvas will allow you to lift the clay slab without removing the shim.

Another way to handle clay slabs on heavy canvas is to place a board under the canvas. Once the slab is rolled, lay newspaper on top of slab, then place a second board the same size on top so the slab is sandwiched between the boards. Take the two boards between your hands and flip them over using enough pressure to keep the slab from moving. Remove the now top board and peel off the canvas. Transport the slab to your work area.

Different textures can be produced onto the slabs by using different canvases, linens, or other cloths. The softer and thinner the material, the more care will be needed to create a surface without wrinkles. Create other textures by pressing flowers, leaves, screens, and other found objects into the clay slab.
