Tools and Materials You’ll need:

For the drape mold:

  • This pdf guide, printed

  • Rigid cardboard

  • A flexible, water-resistant material that can be cut, such as craft foam, canvas or tyvex (used for sheathing houses). This will be the top of the drape mold

  • X-Acto or other precision knife for cutting

  • Straight-edge ruler

  • Glue (tacky glue or hot glue gun)

  • Optional: Glue Stick or Spray Adhesive

For the slab construction:

  • Your favorite clay

  • Slab roller OR rolling pin and thickness guides for slab rolling (long paint stirrers or yard sticks work well and are usually 1/4” thick)

  • Polymer rib or credit card (I prefer the red polymer Mudtools rib) for compressing clay slabs

  • X-Acto knife, or other precision blade.

If making the condiment holder or shot glass holder:

  • clay slip
