What Type of Plaster are the Pottery Molds?

All of our molds are handmade using USG® Pottery Plaster #1, a high quality gypsum which is extremely durable, making them ideal for home studios, pottery studios and classrooms.

Check back often for new shapes and sizes. If you have any questions, please let us know.

Quickly Hump Mold Your Pottery

Because plaster molds absorb the clay's water, you can often quickly make pottery with hump molds: as soon as the clay firms up and can support its shape, remove it from the mold, and start the next!

What's also advantageous about hump molds is that you can add to the outside of your piece as it's on the mold. For example, you can add texture to decorate your pottery, and foot rings and handles to enhance its functionality.

Making Slab Pots and Coil Pots with Molds

Pottery making with slabs, coils, or both are ideal techniques to use with plaster molds. In fact, combining slabs and coils can yield unique and beautiful shapes. Take a look at some of the pottery samples displayed with our molds to explore just some of the possibilities.
