Illusion Pitcher Template + Tutorial
$7.70
Description
Make a modern pitcher at home with this printable slab pottery template and tutorial. A sculptural jug with a cutout handle, hand built from clay slabs with no pottery wheel needed.
The Illusion Pitcher has a wide rounded body and an open cutout that forms the handle, so the shape and the handle are one piece. Use it as a statement vase or a water jug on the table.
If you’ll pour drinks from it, use a stoneware or earthenware clay with a food-safe glaze. Air dry clay is not food safe.
If you have any questions concerning this slab building project, please send them through. I am here to assist you on your creative journey.
