MATERIAL COST
A few sheets, thousands of shapes.
RIGOUR, NOT CONSTRAINT
Digital in service of your artist’s eye.
Drawing a template by hand means risking an asymmetry, a bad joint angle, or a lid that won’t close. The tool generates perfect vector lines — you keep the freedom of the design, it takes care of the geometry.
No more “almost” — your pieces fit together on the first try.
Endless archive — reprint your favourite templates in one click.

Wobbly, imperfect lines

Guaranteed 90° cut
ZERO MENTAL MATH
You think in finished sizes. The tool thinks in raw clay.
Working out the circumference of a cylinder or compensating for your stoneware’s 13.5 % shrinkage is no longer your problem. You enter the dimensions of the piece you want after firing — the tool draws the “raw” version for you.

Firing shrinkage, calculated for you
Every clay shrinks differently — often 10 to 14 %. Measure your shrinkage once, enter it, and every dimension of the template is scaled automatically.
Adjustable 0–20 %, to the decimal · Applies to diameters, heights and flat patterns · Switch clay → instant recalculation

You’re no longer limited by the shop’s stock. Every shape is parametric: adjust the dimensions, add a handle, change the number of facets — the pattern regenerates.
FROM SCREEN TO WORKBENCH
Three steps from idea to slab.
01
Pick a shape
Start from a model in the library. A parametric starting point, not a fixed mould.
02
Enter your sizes
Finished dimensions, your clay’s shrinkage, slab thickness. The preview updates live.
03
Print & cut
Full-size A4 PDF, assembly marks. Lay it on the slab and follow the lines.
WHY CHANGE YOUR HABITS
Spend less, create more freely.
80 €/an
Save on materials
Stop buying rigid templates at €15 each. A few euros of paper gives you thousands of shapes.

Mental math
Circumference, your stoneware’s 13.5 % shrinkage, flat patterns… the tool draws the “raw” version for you, every time.
∞
Total freedom
No longer limited by the shop’s stock. Create original shapes, try angles you’d never have drawn with a ruler.

No more working out circumferences on a scrap of paper. I pick, I print, I cut. My first mug was spot-on first try.

Shrinkage used to be my nightmare. Now I enter my finished sizes and it’s sorted. A huge time-saver on my series.

Finally templates in MY size, not the shop’s. A tea caddy with a lid that actually closes — bliss.
