Egg Holder Template + Tutorial

Make a ceramic egg holder at home with this printable slab pottery template and tutorial. A handy kitchen storage piece you can hand build from clay slabs with no pottery wheel.

The Egg Holder keeps 6 eggs neat and ready on the kitchen bench, so they’re out of the carton and easy to grab. It’s a practical handmade kitchen piece and a lovely gift for anyone who keeps chickens.

For serving food, use a stoneware or earthenware clay with a food-safe glaze. Air dry clay is not food safe.

For personal use only.
