Materials - 3D printed in PLA+ plastic. These forms have a light layer line 3D printed texture on the surface that leaves a slight texture on your clay that can easily be smoothed out with a sponge or rib. If your form is damaged with a scuffed or scratched from normal usage you can lightly wet sand the surface back to smooth starting with 60, 80, 120 grit sand paper working your way to finer 400-600 girt for a super smooth finish.

Clay Tips - For quick release of your clay from your mold, use a barrier in between your clay and pottery from such as doubled up plastic, thin cotton fabric, or corn starch. If using corn starch as a release agent make sure to wash your bisque ware before glazing. *Pro Clay Tip - I like to put painters tape tabs on my pucks creating little pull tabs so I can easily remove them from my clay.

Directions - I have been using and perfecting my pottery forms for years. This is my method I have found to be successful. I like to slab roll out my clay, smooth and cut out to the size I want, then I drape thin plastic on my pottery form. Next I drape my clay onto my pottery form with the plastic on it. Starting from the center I then work the clay into the form using a red rib or damp sponge. Allow clay to stiffen up to desired dryness before flipping then remove drape form from clay. Then, peel off the plastic, smooth with sponge or red rib if desired then dry slowly under plastic. Do not let your clay dry completely on the form even over night, it will shrink and crack your piece.

Care Instructions - Clean with wet sponge or wash directly in the sink. Dry before using.
