Sprig Mold

This two piece sprit mold takes all the work out of making and placing a sprig onto your pottery pieces.  The two parts are assembled and then pressed into a 1/4" or 5mm thick slab of clay that has been dusted with cornstarch or baby powder.  Once the sprig mold if filled with clay the extra is wired off.  The level surface is then scored and covered with slip.  Next the outer wall of the mold is removed and the clay covered sprig plate is aligned with the mug using the guide lines imprinted on the back of the plate.  Once the clay on the surface of the plate has been stuck onto the side of the mug the plate is removed.  The sprig moulds can be custom made to fit your particular design ideas.  Email artisanpotterytoos@gmail.com.
