How to Use Embossed Rolling Pins on Pottery and Clay
Using embossed rolling pins with clay projects is straightforward and enjoyable! Here's our recommended process:
- Prepare Your Clay: Properly knead and condition your clay to ensure it's smooth and pliable for rolling.
- Roll Out the Clay: Using a regular flat rolling pin, roll out your clay to your desired thickness first. This will create an even surface ready for pattern imprinting.
- Pattern Application: Choose your favorite design from Sweet Rolling Pins, dust lightly with cornstarch (or clay-release powder) if necessary, and slowly roll over the flattened clay surface. Apply consistent pressure for an even imprint.
- Shape and Fire: Once your clay pieces are beautifully embossed, cut, shape, or mold it as desired. Allow the clay to air-dry or fire it in your kiln according to your clay's recommended instructions.
