- It's so easy to make sea pottery in a rock tumbler at home using simple materials. And only three easy steps:
1) Break pottery;
2) Load rock tumbler:
3) Set and turn on rock tumbler.
Done.
This experiment was a complete success.
You can also just use tile nippers to break the plate where you want it to break. they're actually pretty friendly. No plastic bag hammer abuse. It chips the plate...the hammer. Just nip it. :)
I also make jewelry... try using a set of diamond hole saws and cut out round pieces of ceramic plates then tumble. I have done this with plates, tiles, sea shells and glass...
Cool suggestion! I will definitely try that.
The sand and shells are very close in hardness to the glass so it will do little to tumble the glass. The plate ceramic wont hardly be affected.
Leave out the sand and shells. Use only the rocks, especially the smaller pcs. Love to see that vid. if you try that.
Thank you for the comment, much appreciated. That is a great suggestion and I will very likely give that a try.
Did it work without sand and did painted decal pcs have same wear thanks 😊
I'm getting ready to tumble some pottery and I found this video to be very helpful. Thank you so much! I really like how the pottery edges are smooth and the picture remained. I didn't think about adding the "normal" sea materials (sand, shells, etc.) Thanks again!
Wow awesome idea very nice art work.
Thank you so much Bandilla73
Was curious about the size of your tumbler.
I use a 2lb barrel/tumbler.
