Description

This listing is for an item(s) that is printed with PLA filament using a 3D printer.  The photos alongside the main photo will show you bisque fired earthenware clay pieces made with the cutters / stamps and also some painted pieces for inspiration.  You will also find extra inspiration in our gallery.

This item is perfect for making your own bisque to sell in your PYOP studio, for use within a pottery studio, or for your own handicrafts…. the only limit is your imagination!

The colour of your cutters and stamps may vary from those shown in the photograph.

After use, rinse in cool water (never use hot water and do not soak) and dry immediately.  Store in a cool, dry place.

Instructions to make a daffodil…

1. Roll out clay to 5mm thick and add texture if you wish before cutting out 1 middle piece and 6 petals
2. Score the base of each petal
3. Slightly curl the edge of each petal inwards
4. Score the side of the 2 short edges on the middle piece and paint slip onto the scored area
5. Rolly the edges of the middle piece together so that they join and firm together
6. Blend a skinny sausage of clay along the seam on the inside and the outside, where the edges meet
7. Score around the base of the middle of the daffodil and score a similar sized circle onto a spare bit of rolled out clay
8. Paint slip onto the scored base and stick to the extra piece of rolled clay. Cut around using a craft knife or needle tool to remove excess clay.
9. Blend the base into the middle of the daffodil
10. Add slip to the scored base of each petal
11. Score approx 2cm around the base of the middle piece
12. Line up the base of 1 of the petals with the base of the middle piece and blend around the base of the petal
13. Continue with 2 more petals to complete your first layer of petals
14. Add a second row of 3 petals in the same way, but in the gaps between the first layer of petals
15. Smooth the petals into the base
16. To shape the petals, gently peel back an outer petal and shape as you want, careful not to tear the petal. Support underneath the petal with some scrunched up kitchen roll
17. Repeat this with the outer petals and then the inner petals
18. Gently pinch the top of the middle piece to soften into your desired shape
19. Ta-dah, here’s you daffodil! Fettle all over with a damp paintbrush and allow to dry slowly.
