Pour-Over Coffee Set Slab Pottery Project Guide (PDF)

$20.00

Make your own ceramic pour-over coffee set using clay slabs. This downloadable PDF project guide includes printable pottery templates and step-by-step instructions for three coordinating pieces: a 16-ounce pitcher with a handle, a pour-over cone, and an arched support for the cone.

Designed for makers with some slab-building experience, the guide includes templates for constructing a reusable drape mold and optional craft-foam designs for adding texture and pattern. You should be comfortable attaching clay slabs and blending seams.

The 21-page PDF guide includes:

• A detailed list of project materials and tools.
• Instructions for printing the guide.
• Step-by-step instructions for making all three ceramic pieces and constructing a reusable drape mold.
• Useful tips and fun facts.
• 12 pages of templates for cutting clay slabs and assembling the drape mold.
• 5 pages of optional design patterns for making reusable craft-foam texture templates.

You will receive a download link immediately after purchase. The PDF is formatted for printing on US Letter paper.

This is a digital download. No finished ceramics or physical materials are included.

Tools and materials you will need

For the templates and drape mold:

  • This pdf guide, printed

  • One 20” x 18” piece of scrap cardboard, chipboard, or foam board (choose a material that is sturdy and cuts easily)

  • One 18”x 5” piece of flexible material that is water resistant, such as craft foam, canvas, or wax/parchment paper

  • Glue (I prefer Tacky Glue, but Elmer’s glue or a hot glue gun will work.)

  • Tape or glue stick

  • X-Acto knife or other sharp blade

  • Cutting surface, such as a self-healing mat

For the clay 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)

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

  • X-Acto knife, or other blade

  • Optional: Pony-roller

Optional if you’d like an extra challenge by making personalized texture templates:

  • 2mm-thick craft foam (also known as EVA foam. Can be found in rolls in some stores & online, such as Amazon.)

  • 2mm-thick craft (EVA) foam with adhesive backing. Can also be found in rolls online.
