Witch’s Hat Kit

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 witch’s hat…

1. Roll out clay to 7mm thick
2. If you want to add texture, do this now before cutting out 1 circle and 1 cone piece
3. Cut a small circle out from the centre of the circle base piece – if you want the hat to be a lantern, make sure the hole is large enough to fit a candle
4. Score the 2 straight edges of the cone piece and paint on slip
5. Roll the straight edges in towards each other to join and make a cone shape, firm together
6. Add a thin sausage of clay to the join line on the outside and inside of the cone and blend to smooth in
7. Score around the smaller inner circle where you will attach the cone
8. Score and slip the base of the cone
9. Firm the cone in place onto the base
10. Roll out 2 long sausages of clay and lay them side by side. Roll together so they twist together like a rope
11. Paint slip around where the cone and base meet
12. Wrap the twisted rope of clay around the base of the cone and cut to size. Smooth where the ends meet
13. Use a damp paintbrush to smooth out the twisted rope of clay
14. Make whatever additional decoration you want to add to your witch’s hat
15. Decorate the hat however you’d like. Just remember to score and slip everything you attach
16. Leave to dry completely before firing
