Discover How to Use Drape forms and Unleash Your Creativity:

One exciting way to use our drape forms is with a medium-density upholstery foam pad (easily available online). If you don't have foam, fret not! You can effortlessly shape your clay around the drape using your hands and a rib or an old store card. The process is as enjoyable as it is rewarding!

Here's a brief guide to get you started:

• Roll your clay into a uniform 1/4 inch thick slab using rolling pin guides.
• Smooth the clay with a soft silicone pottery rib for a flawless finish.
• Place the Pottery Form on top of the clay, and cut around it, leaving a slight excess.
• Carefully flip the clay and form over.
• Elevate the form using one of our Rising Stars, so you can work comfortably.
• Rising stars can be purchased on our website - Click Here 
• Press the clay onto the form and smooth it down using the silicone rib.
• Trim around the form with a needle tool to create the perfect rim for your dish. 
• Let your masterpiece dry for a couple of hours.
• Remove the form from the clay when it starts to hold shape.  Check on it every couple of hours. When it is ready to be removed it will easily release from the form. Do not leave the form in the clay until it is completely dry (the clay will crack or get stuck!)
• Time taken to dry varies on climate and other factors.
