Bats
Pottery bats keep your workflow moving, letting you throw a piece and set it aside without missing a beat. At Clay-King, you’ll find a wide selection of bats in different materials and sizes to match the way you like to work at the wheel. From trimming to drying, having the right bats on hand makes your time in the studio smoother and a lot more enjoyable.
At Clay-King, you’ll find bats made from plastic, Masonite, and plaster, each bringing its own advantages to your throwing process. Plastic bats are lightweight and easy to clean, making them a favorite for many potters, while Masonite bats offer a sturdy, affordable option that holds up well with care. Plaster bats help manage moisture, which can be a big help when working with wetter clay bodies or when you need your pieces to release easily. We also carry bat systems and accessories like bat pins, bat grips, and batmates to help you set up your wheel exactly how you like it.
You can explore different sizes for your projects, from smaller bats for mugs and bowls to larger bats that give you room to work on platters and bigger pieces. If you need guidance picking the right bats for your wheel or clay body, we’re here to help you find the best fit for your studio.
