Print the template. Cut the clay. Make pottery that looks store-bought.
Mugs, bowls, plates, lanterns and holiday gifts, each in 3 sizes. Lay the paper on your clay, cut around it, build. No wheel, no drawing, no guessing.
- 300 templates for 100 projects
- 8-lesson video course
- Firing & glaze cards
- 12 holiday gift projects
You love pottery. Your pieces just don't come out the way you pictured.
Walls lean, lids don't fit, a crack shows up while it dries. And the mug that looked perfect goes into the kiln and comes out a size smaller.
- 1Cutting by eye. Every freehand slab is a little different, so nothing matches and nothing sits straight.
- 2Cracks and warps. Hours of work, then a split along the seam or a bottom that won't sit flat.
- 3The wrong size after firing. Clay shrinks, and one-size templates never tell you how much.
It's not your hands. It's the missing template. Handbuilders who make clean, matching sets don't eyeball their slabs: they cut around a pattern. Now you can too.
Print. Cut. Build. That's it.
If you can roll a slab and use a knife, you can make every piece in the collection.
Print your size
Pick Small, Medium or Large, print at 100%. The check square tells you the scale is exact.
Cut around it
Roll an even slab between two guide sticks, lay the paper on top, trace with a knife.
Build, then fire or dry
Score, join, smooth. Kiln clay goes to the kiln; air-dry clay dries on the shelf.

One template. Works with your clay.
Every template comes in three sizes, and a printable Shrink Test Strip tells you which one to print for the clay you use. So the mug that comes out of the kiln is the mug you planned.
With a kiln
- Stoneware, earthenware, porcelain
- Mugs, bowls and plates you can use every day (with food-safe glaze)
- Firing & Glaze Cards included
No kiln
- Any air-dry clay from the craft store
- Decor, trinkets, lanterns, holiday pieces

Real pages, made to be used
Every project has a drawing of the finished piece, the time it takes, the clay you need and numbered steps. Then the full-size templates, ready to print.
Real kitchens, real pieces
One download. Everything you need.
Firing and glazing, on one card
The part most template packs skip. Cone chart, a slow bisque schedule you can follow, glaze firing, and the checklist for food-safe pieces. Pin it next to your kiln.
The finish is what makes it look store-bought
Checkerboard, thin stripes, speckles, gold rims. 20 simple designs with underglaze for the kiln or acrylic for air-dry clay, and how to seal them so they last.
The gifts people actually keep
A mug for your daughter, a berry bowl for your sister, a glowing little house for the neighbors. And if friends start asking to buy them, your license lets you sell up to 500 pieces a year.

Good questions, straight answers
Do I need a kiln or a pottery wheel?
No wheel, ever: every project is slab-built. A kiln is optional. With a kiln (yours or your studio's) you can make mugs, bowls and plates for everyday use. Without one, use air-dry clay for decor, trinkets, lanterns and holiday pieces.
I'm a beginner. Can I do this?
Yes. Each collection starts with an easy piece, and the video lessons show every step from rolling your first slab.
Will my piece come out the right size after firing?
Clay shrinks as it dries and fires, and every clay is different. Make the Shrink Test Strip once with your clay, and the Size Chooser tells you which of the three sizes to print for the finished size you want.
What do I need to get started?
Clay, a rolling pin, two wooden sticks as guides, a craft knife and a home printer. The Start Here Guide has the full list.
Is this a physical product?
No, it's a digital download. You get instant access to the PDFs and the video lessons right after checkout, and you can print the templates as many times as you want.
US Letter or A4?
Both are included. Print at 100% ("Actual size") and check the square on the page: if it measures right, the template is exact.
Are the pieces food safe?
Food safety depends on your clay, glaze and firing, not on the shape. Kiln-fired pieces with a glaze labeled food safe, fired as the maker says, can be used for food; the Firing & Glaze Cards include the checklist. Air-dry clay is never food safe or waterproof, so those projects are decor.
Can I sell what I make?
Yes. Your license lets you sell up to 500 handmade pieces a year. You can't share or resell the templates themselves.
How long does the launch price last?
Until the timer at the top of the page runs out. The free Holiday Collection is part of the launch offer too. After that the Blueprint goes back to its regular price of €79.
The launch is over: the Blueprint is now at its regular price.
How do I receive it?
Right after checkout you get a download page and an email with your files: the template PDFs, the guide, the bonuses and the link to the video lessons. Nothing ships.
What if it's not for me?
Use it for 30 days: make something, and write to us if you get stuck. If it's still not for you, write to potteryblueprint@outlook.com any time between day 30 and day 60 after your purchase and you get a full refund.
Your first handmade gift could be drying by tonight.
100 projects, 3 sizes, 8 video lessons and 7 bonuses. One payment of €37, backed by a 30-day try-it guarantee.
