16 Inch Hydro-Bat for Plates, Bowls and Larger Pottery Forms
The 16 inch Hydro-Bat is a large absorbent pottery bat for potters throwing plates, bowls and wider ceramic forms. Made from durable Hydro-Stone plaster, it gives you the moisture-absorbing benefits of traditional pottery plaster while offering extra strength for regular studio use.
Designed to draw moisture from the base of thrown work, this plaster-style bat helps pieces release naturally without needing to wire cut through the bottom. The larger 16 inch surface makes it a useful choice for dinner plates, serving bowls and production throwing where a strong, absorbent wheel throwing bat can improve studio workflow.
