Comparing Different Bats | Throwing on Pottery Wheel | Plastic, Plaster or Masonite

Today I am going to talk about the three different kinds of bats I use to throw clay in my studio: plastic, Masonite and plaster. Each bat has it's own pros and cons, and special uses. Join me as I discuss how I use each one. I hope you enjoy learning more about the process. For weekly art videos, be sure to subscribe to my channel, Blue Nose Trading.
