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 teacup and saucer…

1. Starting with the teacup…roll out clay to 7mm
2. Dust the teacup mould and your clay with talc or corn flour
3. Drape the clay over the mould and firm the clay around then smooth over with a damp sponge
4. Dust the cutter then place over the top of the clay and mould and press down to cut the clay but don’t pull the cutter back up
5. Cut away any excess clay then turn over the teacop and push the cutter off to give the teapot a neat rim
6. Give the mould a little twist to loosen it then gently shape the rim away from the teacup mould
7. Neaten up the edges with a damp sponge and leave the mould in place
8. Cut out the handle from excess clay
9. Indent one end with your thumb then flip the handle over and make an indent on the other end on the other side
10. Score on the opposite sides to where your indents are
11. Shape the handle and leave to dry for a bit to firm up
12. Paint slip onto the scored area of the handle
13. Turn the teacup upside down (with the mould still in place) and place the handle where you would like it
14. Remove the handle and score the areas where the slip has left a mark then paint on slip
15. Firm the handle in place and adjust the shape as needed
16. Leave the teacup to firm up a bit before fettling and removing the mould
17. Now for the saucer…roll out clay to 7mm thick
18. Dust the mould with talc or cornflour and lay on the table handle side down
19. Drape the clay over the mould and firm the clay around the mould with your hands. Use a damp sponge to smooth out the shape

21. Flip over the mould and cutter then press then press the cutter up and over
22. Smooth over the edges with a damp sponge
