- This is a super simple way to make a portable and versatile wedging board and working board for pottery clay.
I show you how I cover my canvas ware boards which are perfect for wedging and all sorts of hand building. They are particularly great for slab building as they stop clay slabs from sticking to your work surface.

What is the best way to clean the wedging canvas? If with water, will it damage or mold the wood underneath?
great idea my canvas is just floating about....... How do you keep it clean or do you have to unpin it to wash it
I don't wash it and it's ok. If the clay is very wet, I'd wedge it on a plaster slab first, and then transfer to the canvas board when the clay isn't smearing. I made a video covering how to make a plaster slab too if you want to check that out? th-cam.com/video/x1g7XgrM4Dg/w-d-xo.html
ah thanks.... i have a little plaster batt i made @@ThePotteryWheel
How do you keep it from molding?
Hello, I don't find it gets moldy. The clay dries out on the canvas very quickly and it doesn't mold. I guess it may get moldy if you keep it somewhere damp, but otherwise it should be ok.
@@ThePotteryWheel I use this same technique & had to take a bit of prolonged absence from my work. (Several months, health-related) Not any bit of mold or mildew. I also use vinegar on my clay to remoisten as needed in some of my slab building. I also use it in my slip mix. That'll work with & will definitely hinder mold & mildew.
(I've also used a fairly strong mixture on some clay that HAD some mildew on it. It got pushed to the back & under some newer clay, had a bunch on it. It wasn't a huge amount but I wanted to use it in a layering project. I was amazed at how it worked.) I'd just look into rules using vinegar in clay storage and use in/on projects.
