DIFFICULTY RATING

You will need:

A selection of small shape cutters – like stars, hearts, leaves, circles etc, but any shape will work; just think about how easy they’ll be to handle when you’re using them.

A selection of small stamps – you can use old pen tops, or MKM Tools has a wide variety of small wooden stamps that would be suitable – see your pottery suppliers catalogues for choice.

Also:

Clay of choice – earthenware or stoneware. White earthenware paper clay is used here

Rolling pin, plastic sheet, 5mm and 10mm thick roller guides

Wooden tools
