Clay About Cards

Ever sit down at the wheel or the table and end up making the same mug again? Yeah, me too.

Clay About is a deck of 35 pottery prompt cards made to get you out of that rut. Shuffle, pull a card, and make whatever it tells you. Some are quick and silly, some will properly stretch you, and none of them care what you usually make.

There are cards for handbuilding, throwing, surface texture and general clay play, so you’ll find plenty to do whether you live at the wheel or have never touched one.

The cards are plastic, so you can keep them right next to you while you work. Muddy fingers and splashes of slip just wipe off.

Clay About is for anyone who knows the basics, has done at least one class and wants to play a bit more. It’s great for your own studio time, a night in with clay friends, or a gift for the potter who has every tool already.

And yes, there’s a banana card. There’s always a banana card.
