How to Make Texture Mats for Clay
Вставка

- This is how I make my own individual texture mats for clay. These are great if you want to make a set of pottery items and replicate the design on each. For example, if you want to make a set of plates with the same design, having a rubber texture mat is very helpful. But I found it hard to find exactly what I was looking for to buy. So I decided to make my own. Here is how I make my own clay texture mats.
If you use freezer paper with the shiny side down, you can not only use it over and over, but you won't have little paper pieces to pick off. I use it a lot to transfer designs for carving and for making shape templates. The shiny side sticks to the clay but peels off easily and keeps the paper dry.
Good idea, thanks 🙂
Delightful and clear! Thank you for sharing your techniques. Beautiful work!
Just finished watching your three method template video. So wish I’d seen it two days ago when I struggled making one without your instructions! Now THIS video you posted shows me something I never knew you could do! I’m very excited about your videos! Thank you! Very concise, relaxed and knowledgeable instructions, I just subscribed!
You really know what needs to be done and explain it so clearly. Thank you.
Thank you for all your videos! I love to use texture and I’m frequently unable to find designs I want to use. Now I am confident I can create my own! Thank you!
This was helpful, but I would rather relax and watch other hands do it! LOL! So wonderful! I have so many questions that I'm sure will be answered as I watch more of your content! Thank you!
You do a great job explaining how to do these projects. Hope your wrist is healing. Waiting for new videos. Thanks
This is great! I had no idea this rubber product existed! I think this is going to make my projects so much easier! Thank you so much!
So glad you are back! Love your videos, you explain so well and it inspires me!
I can’t believe I’ve never heard of this before!!
Thanks. I look forward to trying this.
This is a brilliant video, thank you :o)
Thanks :)
Very well done video. Thanks 😊
Very beautiful I will definitely try this ❤️
Fabulous video thank you so much
Nice!!!! Thanks!
thanks for that. I need to find the two component rubber stuff here in New Zealand.
just search for a 'two part silicone mold mix' and you should be able to find something local. good luck :)
Just what I've been looking for!! Can one dust with a bit of cornstarch to prevent sticking?Thank you for this video
yes, corn starch can be handy, definitely
After you carved the pattern into your leather hard clay what did you do to make sure all the moisture was gone from the clay? It looked like it still had some moisture in it when you removed the moat wall you created. I read somewhere that the rubber doesn't set up if there is moisture.
I see you haven't had a reply, so thought I would mention there are different types of "rubber". (Not actual rubber, but flexible products. Some dry, but some are chemical changes which "set". Be sure and read the information for what you buy. And be sure and use good ventilation.
Thank you for sharing this. Do you use all of the silicone up on one mold, or does it make more than one mat? And what size is your plate form, please?
Hello you don't have to use all the mixture at once if you got some left over you can just put the lid back on and save it for later. I use a 10-inch pottery for mold for the plate. hope that helps :-)
What’s the product you used to make de mats? Thanks for everything.
Its a 2 part silicone mold making kit called 20A translucent platinum RTV - 2 silicone rubber. Most 2 part silicone mold makers will do the trick. 🙂
