Has anyone used this to roll out clay to make hand-built pottery?

No, not on clay. But I have seen just the rings sold on Williams-Sonoma website for $8.95 if you already have a rolling pin you like; but they will not fit a larger rolling pin like the marble pins.

I've used mine only for baking. I'm not sure if it would be appropriate for rolling or not.

Oops, I am sorry the picture did not load and I thought you were asking about a different product. I used polymer clay in the mold and think the mold was rather too soft for harder clays. The clay would have to be very soft or you would have to use the mold for something like chocolate before it held its shape. I have not spent much time yet with this mold so I might not be the person to ask.

I didn't use it for that style, but I googled it and see many people have used Fimo clay to make that style of bead. Hope this helps.

Hello M. Thomas, I can not answer this question, I have never tried it. However, the pottery company should be able to answer this for you. I love mine, use it all the time, but in the micro.

I haven't tried it on a wheel, but the texture seems right. I've added water for smoothing the surface, and it didn't crack as it dried as long as I didn't leave it too wet. It is an air dry clay, of course.

It has been so far. Some people have complained about breaking clays but it has not been an issue. The only time that there was a problem was with a 10 year old box that someone brought over. You also can use the biodegradable targets. I have been very happy with how it works. I would recommend getting the wobbler attachment for it too.

Robert this clay is self hardening and great for creating vase, coil pots and boxes. I really enjoy this brand of clay it very easy to manipulate and dry. I have been using since high school and I am in my forties. You must keep it covered when you not working with it due to drying process. You must knead before using it to avoid the cracking.Enjoy it! I do.

Yes, I sell and put pottery in it every day and they hold. The handles are sturdy. I ordered my second batch from Uline and do not like them as much as these. I just reordered.

I have not. I can't imagine though it would not work. Mine came out so clear there is no detail of wood grain that it would obscure.

I would not recommend it for hard clay, this b&d; is for lighter top soil, try to turn the soil then till it . All the soil needs to broken up first.

Not me. I would think your biggest problem is going to be in keeping the clay from sticking to the rollers. I use lots of flour to keep my dough moving through freely. If you can keep the clay from sticking, I don't see why you couldn't use it to roll clay. It's pretty sturdy.

I think so. I took a polymer clay class and the teacher used this to glue tiles onto a picture frame then baked it!!

Yes I have had the machine for over a year, takes some time to set it up but it is reliable. Will not launch the last clay.

I use this just for polymer clay. It works great, and it will help protect wooden work surfaces. The grid is great for measuring and cutting with a tissue blade. The clay will discolor the mat a bit over time. I have not tried baking clay while it is on the mat.

I use it to make anything from jewelry pendants to paperweights to switch covers. Actually the bigger the project, the quicker it actually sets. What are you planning on making? If you don't mind me asking :)

It has held up fine on my hand tools, and the experiment surfaces I've tried. For what it's worth, I had to remove it from a surface and it required a good bit of elbow grease with a sharpened putty knife. If you do decide to give it a go, please share your results. Good luck, hope this helped.
