Create distinctive ceramic plates, bowls, and slab-built pieces with our Riviera irregular slump mold for clay. Unlike our standard symmetrical models, each Riviera mold has its own individual shape and is marked with its own number, making every design unique.
This 3D printed plastic mold is made to help you form organic, repeatable pieces with a relaxed handmade character. It works well for both plates and bowl forms, depending on the clay placement and the depth you choose, and is especially suited to makers looking for less uniform, more natural-looking tableware.
Each Riviera irregular mold is designed and made by us at DIY Project Depot, with close attention to durability, ease of use, and reliable everyday workshop performance.
How to use a slump mold
To use a slump mold, roll out a clay slab and gently lay it inside the mold so the clay drops into the form under its own weight. Then press it carefully into place, compress the surface, trim the rim, and allow it to stiffen to leather-hard before removing. This technique is beginner-friendly and makes it easier to achieve smooth, even, repeatable shapes.
Size options
The mold is available in multiple sizes to help you create flower-shaped plates or bowls that suit your project.
- Mold diameter: 12 to 36 cm (4.7" to 14.2")
- Mold depth: 5 to 17 cm (2.0" to 6.7")
Please note that the final fired ceramic piece will usually be smaller than the mold, due to normal clay shrinkage during drying and firing. For many clay bodies, total shrinkage is often around 10–12%, though this can vary depending on the clay and firing temperature.
