The SlabMat is a non-woven fabric that provides a smooth surface for working with clay. It is similar to canvas in that it is durable and will not stick to clay. However, because it is smoother than canvas, it does not leave a texture imprinted in the clay. SlabMats are often used with slab rollers and are available in smaller sizes for handbuilding.
Our handbuilding SlabMats are made of the same material as full-sized SlabMats, and they are ideal for small projects. The SlabMat Handbuilding 41cm x 56cm is usually the size of choice for most studio artists and schools.
SlabMats can also be cut with an exacto knife to the size needed.
