A BATT is a tool I use when throwing on the wheel. Its a platform that goes between the clay and the wheel head to allow for quick and easy removal of thrown pieces. After throwing a piece, I remove it from the batt, a small slice of clay remains on the batt. In an effort to find purpose in the purposeless, I began paying attention to these little scraps. Eventually developing BATT TRIMMING INCENSE TRAYS.

Each tray is created by stacking many of these thin scraps of clay, turning what was once a bi-product of my practice into something with value and purpose.
