12.5 Inch Hydro-Bat for Pottery Wheel Throwing
The 12.5 inch Hydro-Bat is a popular absorbent pottery wheel bat for potters who want the benefits of plaster with added strength for everyday studio use. Made from hydrostone plaster, it absorbs moisture from the base of thrown pots, helping pieces release naturally as they firm up.
Designed to fit a standard wheelhead with bat pins spaced 10 inches apart, this Hydro-Bat is a practical choice for studio throwing, classroom pottery and repeat production. Its 12.5 inch size makes it especially useful for cups, bowls, smaller forms and general ceramic work where clean removal from the wheel is important.
