The SlabMat is a smoooooth alternative to canvas!  Use with slab rollers or while hand rolling, to eliminate the canvas texture on your slab.  

Made of a durable non-woven material, the SlabMat can be wiped clean with a damp sponge.  Some slabrollers require two pieces, a top and a bottom, while others require a single slab folded in the middle.  It is also a good idea to have extra SlabMats for different colors of clay, and to use when the SlabMat gets wet and needs time to dry out.  

Q&A about SlabMats:

Q. Will I get clay lines left after I cut on a Slabmat, like it does on canvas?  
A. Yes.  The lines are caused by the cut.  Use a plastic or wooden rib to remove them.  Removal of lines is much easier than on canvas since there is no texture.

Q. How many slabs may I roll before the SlabMat is too wet?
A. Each clay contains a different amount of moisture, so it will vary.  A guideline is that you can roll 3 consecutive slabs before the SlabMat gets too wet and the clay starts to stick.  Then you can roll onto another slab, and by the time you have rolled it 3 times, the original is dry enough to reuse.  

Q. May I let my freshly rolled slab of clay remain on the SlabMat?
A. SlabMat will absorb water from the slab as it is rolled.  It is best to remove the slab soon after rolling.  It may be placed onto a fresh piece of SlabMat, or newspaper or wood.  Remember to turn your slab onto the flat surface, then peel off the SlabMat.  Do NOT peel the clay off the SlabMat, or you will likely get warping of the slab. (This is the same as with canvas.)

Q. Can I cut clay directly on SlabMat?
A. Everyone has a different hand when cutting, so it will vary with each person.  A stainless steel fettling knife is recommended.  If you use an Exacto knife or need tool, cut test on a corner of the SlabMat to see how hard you can press before you damage the surface.
