Joining Slabs: Most suitable for slab building. Use to roll over the seams of box corners or joined clay slabs. The pressure from the roller helps to firmly bond the clay, reducing cracking during drying and firing.
-
Spot Flattening: Used for tidying small clay slabs or for rolling to remove rough surfaces, fingerprints, and tool marks on the outer walls of a piece, making them smooth and even.
-
Pressing Textures: Used to roll over texture stamps, bisque stamps, or natural leaves placed on the clay surface. This helps distribute pressure evenly, resulting in deep, clear, and uniform patterns across the entire piece.
-
Holding: Grip the steel handle firmly. Use your thumb to brace the steel neck to add pressure while rolling.

Care Instructions: After use, wipe clay residue from the wooden roller and steel axle with a damp cloth, then air dry completely in the shade. Do not soak in water as the wood may swell and the steel axle may rust, causing the roller to stiffen.
