Greek Pattern Bowl Slump Mold for Pottery

Create ceramic bowls with a classic Greek key relief pattern using this 3D printed plastic slump mold for pottery. Designed for clay slab building, this mold helps beginners, hobby potters, ceramic students, and professional studio makers shape beautiful patterned bowls without a pottery wheel.

The seamless Greek pattern creates a raised geometric border on the outside of the clay bowl, giving your finished ceramic piece a timeless Mediterranean, classical, or ancient-inspired look. It works especially well with glazes, underglazes, oxides, slips, washes, and contrasting surface decoration that highlight the relief texture.

This mold is ideal for making handmade soup bowls, cereal bowls, rice bowls, decorative bowls, small serving bowls, craft market pottery, ceramic gifts, and beginner-friendly clay projects. Simply use a rolled clay slab, press it gently into the mold, let the clay firm up, then remove and finish the bowl using your usual ceramic process.

Each mold is an original in-house design by DIY Project Depot and is 3D printed in France from plant-based bioplastic. It is lightweight, durable, easy to clean, and more resistant to chipping than plaster molds. The mold is available in many sizes, and custom dimensions are available on request at no extra design cost.

Please choose your mold size before clay shrinkage. Most clays shrink around 10–12% during drying and firing, so the final ceramic bowl will usually be smaller than the mold size.

How to Use

Roll out a clay slab, usually around 4–6 mm thick, and place it gently inside the mold. Press the clay into the bowl shape so it captures the Greek key relief pattern. Let the clay firm up until it can hold its form, then carefully remove it from the mold.

After demolding, refine the rim and base, dry the piece slowly, then bisque fire, glaze, and fire according to your normal pottery process.
