Hi Gillian ,=20
It is not necessary to roll slabs on plaster. In fact it might even be =
better if you didnt because plaster sucks humidity out of clay very =
quickly=20
You could just as easily use a piece of plywood, plywood covered with a =
piece of canvas, or if you want the drying quality, use a piece of i =
think you call it drywall or wallboard in the U.S.. All you would need =
is a piece of scrap and you could tape the edges so that plaster =
particles do not get into your clay.
If the studio has canvas covered tables your problem is already solved. =
If it does not your board is portable and easy to hide away when not in =
use. Just put it on a sturdy table and you're done.=20
Any of these options is much easier and less messy than trying to =
repair your existing bat not to mention that it would resolve the =
problem of introducing plaster dust in the studio. also plaster bats =
wear down quite easily in time. I also suspect that you run the risk =
that pieces of new plaster might chip off more easily than they should.
Good luck
Bev
