Are you thinking Christmas gifting? Of course you are.. ok are you thinking home made gifts? We’re hoping so! Let’s introduce our ceramic clay cutters! Well loose introduction, as we’ve been playing and creating this for a couple of years now. But at this time of year, earrings or Christmas decorations could be the perfect, personalised gift.
Ceramic clay cutters
We’ve created clay cutters since day one, using the same techniques as we do for the cookie cutters. But of late, clients have asked more and more for individual designs for polymer clay earrings. Our cutters, were, we might say, not cutting it? It won’t get any better! You should know that by now.
For a cookie cutter the blade is 0.8mm thick – that gives a good cut on a piece of cookie dough. Try it on clay though and it gives a drag. It leaves a dent rather than a cut.
A return to the drawing board
To launch our own, specially designed clay cutter collection, meant we had to go back to the drawing board. Trialling different size blades and cutters, the finest stable blade we can print, is 0.4mm and the walls down to 0.8-1cm. We’ve increased the flange – that’s the proper name for the handle part, to 2mm deep. The depth of the cutter we’ve taken down to 1cm from 1.5cm. Because, at the end of the day, we don’t want recognition for our flimsy cutters. That’s as bad as having a soggy bottom. And you bakers will know all about that. Robust cutters has been an abiding element of our design from day one. In fact, on day one our cutters had a blade of 1.5mm! I shudder!
Anyway, with all these elements in place and a lot of testing behind the scenes, we’re ready to launch our dedicated clay cutters.
Measuring 1.5cm up to and including 5.5cm. We’ll make a one-stop shop list of the generic shapes together, (square, triangle, diamond etc), in all their sizes so that you can create a bundle of ‘stand-bys’. Then, we’ll create individual shapes in their own listings. That way, you can mix and match with ease.
