About me

Hi, I'm Emily

I started working with clay in 2020, and a few years in, Cut Clay Love was born from a desire to help other people create their own pottery.

I design printable slab pottery templates that take the guesswork out of hand building, drawing on my background in pattern making to turn flat sheets of clay into beautiful, three-dimensional forms.

Every template is designed to be clear, practical and easy to use, so you can spend less time figuring it out and more time making.
