This set includes all of four 3D printed egg drape forms- quail, duck 6 & 12 chicken forms. The eggs have been enlarged to accommodate average 12% clay shrinkage. After your egg tray has been fired it will fit a standard chicken egg. Check out our other egg drape mold for duck eggs and quail egg trays.
This egg drape form has a smooth matte surface and is made from strong pla+ plastic. It is durable, easy to clean and light weight.
Sizes
Quail - 7.5” x 4”
Duck - 7” x 4.5”
6 chicken - 7" x 4.5"
12 chicken - 9" x 7"
Materials - 3D printed in PLA+ plastic. These forms are hand sanded but will still have a light layer line 3D printed texture on the surface that may leave a slight texture on your clay. It can easily be smoothed out with a damp sponge or soft rib. If your form is damaged with a scuffed or scratched from normal usage you can lightly wet sand the surface back to smooth starting with 80 or 120 grit sand paper working your way to finer 400-600 girt for a super smooth finish.
Clay Tips - For quick release of your clay from your drape form I recommend you use a barrier in-between your clay and pottery from. Such as doubled up plastic, thin cotton fabric, nylon tights, or corn starch. If using corn starch as a release agent make sure to wash your bisque ware before glazing. *Pro Tip- I like to put painters tape tabs on all of my forms creating little pull tabs so I can easily remove the from from my clay sculpted pieces.
Directions - I have been using and perfecting my pottery forms for 5 years. This is my method I have found to be successful. I like to roll out my clay to desired slab thickness, smooth and cut out to the size I want, then I drape thin plastic on my pottery form. Next I drape my clay onto my pottery form with the plastic on it. Starting from the center I then working the clay into the form using a red rib or damp sponge. Allow clay to stiffen up to desired dryness before flipping then remove drape form from clay. The peel off plastic, smooth with sponge or red/pink mud rib if desired then dry slowly under plastic. Do not let your clay dry completely on the form even over night, it will shrink and crack your piece.
Care Instructions- clean with wet sponge or wash directly in the sink, do not submerge in water. Dry before using to avoid your clay sticking.
Warning - HEAT SENSITIVE. **Do not leave in a hot car or hot pottery shed. Will melt under high temperatures. Not recommended to use with a heat gun.
