Description
StudioPro Tempered Hardboard Bats are the workhorses of the pottery studio.
They are our most affordable bats, yet made from the finest quality tempered hardboard available. Unlike its Masonite predecessor, our tempered hardboard has no added formaldehyde.
StudioProTempered Hardboard Bats are slightly absorbent for good clay adhesion and bottom drying. They are compact and easy to store and will last many years if cared for properly. Hardboard bats are a great choice for the professional or hobbyist potter who uses many bats and has a controlled studio setting.

New England Hardboard Company is a potter-owned (Todd Wahlstrom and Aysha Peltz) and operated business which has been producing throwing bats for almost 20 years. We have participated in the ceramics community as artists, students, teachers, consumers and manufacturers. We are committed to providing excellent “small company” customer service and very competitive pricing.
Notes on hole sizes and bat care: Bat pins frequently vary in their diameter. Our slots and holes are cut to fit snuggly. If they are too tight on a particular set of pins, they should loosen after a couple of placements and removals of the bat. Alternatively, a small scrap of sandpaper can be rolled up and passed through the holes once or twice.
Notes on hole sizes and bat care: Bats should be cleaned and stacked or stored vertically on a bat rack after use. Do not soak wood bats of any kind. Pots should be wire cut from the bats after throwing and removed when they are leather hard. The remaining pad of clay should be scraped off before storing. Occasional sponge cleaning is fine.
