★★★★★

“I have a drawer of single templates I bought one at a time. This is all of them in one place, and the first mug actually came out the size I drew. No more guessing.”

— Karen B., community studio, Michigan

★★★★★

“My coil pots always cracked at the seams. The joining card fixed that on the first try. Finally something for coil and not just slab mugs.”

— Diane R., Oregon

★★★★★

“I fire on the studio's shared kiln so a piece blowing up is a real fear. The drying and firing prep took that off my plate. I check before I open the clay now.”

— Patty L., North Carolina

↓ What's inside

Everything you need for pieces that come out right.

Inside the bundle, 120+ templates split across the three ways you hand-build, plus the references that keep a piece in one piece from the table to the kiln.

Slab building templates

Pack 1

Slab building templates.

55+ slab templates for mugs, tumblers, lidded jars, planters, trays, soap dishes, picture frames, lanterns, and wall pieces. Print, trace onto your rolled slab, and cut. The shrinkage is already in the lines.

  • Pre-sized lines: the template already accounts for shrinkage, so your fired piece hits the size you wanted
  • Inches and cm together: measure however you measure, no conversion needed
  • Lids that fit: jar and box templates sized so the lid still sits right after firing
  • Home-printer ready: tile-free single sheets you print, cut, and use the same day

Pack 2

Coil building templates.

35+ coil templates for vases, tall pots, planters, vessels, and bowls. This is the open space nobody covers: search “coil pot template” online and you get slab mugs. Here you get profile guides and sizing made for stacking coils.

  • Profile guides: keep the wall straight and the shape even as the pot grows
  • Pre-sized for shrinkage: the tall pot you build is the tall pot that comes out
  • Seam method included: pair with the joining card so coil walls don't split as they dry

Pinch building templates

Pack 3

Pinch building templates.

  • Pinch shapes: bowls, dishes, cups, and ring dishes with wall and base guides so they aren't lopsided
  • Nesting sets: graduated templates for bowls that stack and stay even
  • Pre-sized throughout: every pinch template already corrected for shrinkage, in inches and cm

🎁 Extra bonus · $17 value

Wait! Your order also includes one extra tool free: The Matching-Set Builder

A single mug is easy. A set that actually matches is where most hand-builders get stuck. The Matching-Set Builder is the nesting and scaling guide that gets your mugs, bowls, and lids to come out the same and fit together after firing.

The Matching-Set Builder

✦ Who we are

Made for the kitchen-table potter, by people who hate wasting clay.

We make practical, printable kits for people who'd rather make something than watch another hour of video. We kept seeing the same thing in hand-building: smart, careful makers cycling through free YouTube, Pinterest, and $7 single templates, still ending up with cracked seams, warped slabs, and mugs that fired down to half the size they planned.

So we built the thing we wished existed. Not a course. Not one more slab-mug template. A full library across slab, coil, and pinch, with the shrinkage already worked into every line, and a small set of keep-by-the-clay cards for the four places a piece usually fails: joining, drying, firing, and glaze.

Questions before you order?

Any questions? Contact us at info@printclaystudio.com — we will reply within 24 hours.

Is this for beginners?

Yes. It's built for hand-builders working without a wheel, whether you're on your first slab or a few years in. The templates do the sizing for you and the cards spell out joining, drying, and firing in plain language. More experienced makers use it as a quick reference and a shortcut to matching sets.

Do I need to know the shrinkage math?

No, and that's the point. Every template already has the shrinkage worked into the lines (built around a standard 10-12%). You print, trace, cut, and the fired piece comes out the size on the page. No dividing, no adding, no calculator.

Is this a course?

No. There are no hours of video to sit through. It's a printable library you actually use at the table: templates you cut on, plus reference cards you keep next to the clay. Open it the day you order and make something.

How do I receive the files?

Instantly. The moment your order is complete you get a link to download everything, the 120+ templates and the bonuses, as PDFs. Less than a minute after checkout.

Can I print everything?

Yes. Every template and card is designed for a standard home printer, single sheets, no special paper. Print the one you need for today's piece, or print the cards once and laminate them to keep by your gear.

How is this different from a free YouTube video?

A video shows you someone else's piece once. This gives you the actual sized template to cut on and a fixed routine for joining, drying, and firing, so you're not re-watching anything mid-build. It's the discipline a video can't hand you.

I already bought single templates. Why this?

Because single templates leave you with a drawer of mismatched shapes and no help on size, seams, or firing, the things that actually wreck a piece. This is one cohesive library across slab, coil, and pinch, pre-sized, plus the references no single listing includes.

Will it work in cm? I'm not in the US.

Yes. Every template prints with inches and cm on the same sheet, so you work in whatever you already use. Nothing to convert.

What if it doesn't work for me?

You're covered by a 90-day, no-questions-asked guarantee. Build your first piece with it. If it doesn't make your pottery come out right, email us for a full refund. That's long enough to run a full make-dry-fire cycle and see for yourself.

✦ Maker feedback

No-wheel potters use it to make pieces that come out right, crack-free, the first time.

★★★★

“Printed a mug template last night and it came out exactly the size I drew. That genuinely never happens for me.”

— Megan H., kitchen table

★★★★

“Worth it for the coil section alone. Every time I searched online for coil pot templates I just got slab mugs. Someone finally made the tall vessel guides. My first vase didn't split at the seam.”

— Theo R., 2 years in

★★★★

“No math!! That's basically the whole review. I used to add the shrinkage percent myself and my mugs kept firing down tiny. Now I print and cut and stop thinking.”

— Casey P.

★★★★

“Print, trace, cut. Done.”

— Lauren D.

★★★★

“Bought a drawer full of single templates over the years, total waste of money. This is all of them in one place and they actually match each other now.”

— Bill S., Ohio

★★★★

“Came out the right size on the FIRST go.”

— Nadia K.

★★★★

“Skeptical about a printable kit honestly. Figured I'd still need a hundred videos to make it work. Nope. Opened it, printed a tumbler, made the tumbler. Three years of free YouTube taught me less than one afternoon with this.”

— Marcus T.

★★★★

“The field cards live right next to my clay now. The drying checklist alone saved two planters from cracking on me.”

— Priya N.

★★★★

“GREAT for community studio people. I fire on a shared kiln so a piece blowing up is everyone's problem. The firing prep card took that fear right off my plate.”

— Donna F., shared studio

★★★★

“Five stars..”

— Iris W.

★★★★

“I'm 64 and the wheel was wrecking my back so I switched to hand building. Worried it would be too fiddly to sort out. The templates made it stupid simple. Cut on the line, fire, done. Wish I'd found it two winters ago.”

— Raymond L., 64

★★★★

“Lids that actually fit?! After firing?! You have no idea how long I fought with this.”

— Steph M.

★★★★

“Don't usually leave reviews but this earned one. The inches and cm on the same sheet matters more than I expected, I'm in the UK and haven't had to convert a single number.”

— Helen C., UK

★★★★

“Solid kit 👍”

— Dev A.

★★★★

“Few weeks in now. Made a nesting set of three bowls for my daughter and they stack even. The matching set builder is the part I keep going back to, better than half the paid stuff I've tried.”

— Carla J.

★★★★

“It just works 🙃”

— Tomás E.

★★★★

“Small gripe, I wish the slab planters came in a couple more sizes. That said, everything I printed cut clean and fired to the right size. Still recommend it without hesitation.”

— Bridget O.

★★★★

“MY SEAMS STOPPED CRACKING that is genuinely the only thing I came here to say.”

— Janelle V.

★★★★

“Used the score and slip card with my coil pots and the walls held through drying for the first time ever. Normally that's exactly where they split. Not anymore.”

— Frank D.

★★★★

“Clear, practical, no fluff. You print the thing and you use the thing. Exactly what I wanted and nothing I didn't.”

— Alison R.

★★★★

“Thought I'd need fancy paper or some special printer. Nope. Regular home printer, regular paper, working the same day.”

— Greg P.

★★★★

“Cheaper than the three single templates I almost bought one at a time, and you get a hundred more plus the cards. Math checks out even for someone who hates math as much as me.”

— Yvonne B.

★★★★

“OK so the warping. I could never work out why my trays kept warping. The drying routine explained it in like four lines. Zero warp since then.”

— Sam K.

★★★★

“A++ would print again.”

— Lena Q.

★★★★

“My class is all wheel and I always felt like the odd one out hand building in the corner. This made my work look intentional instead of like I couldn't manage a wheel. Lids fit, sets match, sizes land.”

— Hannah W.

★★★★

“Instant download, had the files in under a minute, printed my first template before the coffee finished.”

— Oscar M.

★★★★

“Bought this for my mom who is getting into pottery at 70 and barely does computers. The files were simple enough that she printed them herself and she is over the moon. Worth it just for that.”

— Renee G.

★★★★

“Good value for thirty four bucks tbh.”

— Phil T.

★★★★

“I kept blaming my hands. Figured I just wasn't skilled enough yet and needed years more practice. Turned out it was the guesswork the whole time. Sized templates plus a firing routine and my pieces come out right now. Wasn't me.”

— Dani S.

★★★★

“120 templates and I've maybe used 15 so far but every single one cut true. The soap dish one was my favorite, made a batch as gifts. No cracks, no surprises in the kiln.”

— Marie L.
