Star of David Plate Hump Mold for Pottery

Create handmade Star of David ceramic plates, dishes, trays, and decorative pottery pieces with this 3D printed pottery hump mold by DIY Project Depot. Designed for clay slab building, this mold helps you shape clean, symmetrical six-point star dishes without using a pottery wheel.

This is a hump mold / drape mold, meaning the clay slab is placed over the outside of the form. The raised Star of David shape guides the clay into a consistent geometric plate form with six points and softly sloped surfaces, while still leaving room for your own glazing, carving, underglaze painting, stamps, texture, or hand-painted decoration.

The finished ceramic piece can be used as a Star of David serving plate, Jewish holiday dish, Hanukkah plate, Passover dish, Shabbat tableware, jewelry tray, candle plate, ring dish, decorative wall piece, altar dish, or handmade pottery gift.

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 handle, and suitable for beginners, pottery students, home ceramic makers, craft workshops, and professional ceramic studios.

Multiple sizes are available, including larger sizes up to 40 cm / 15.7 inches. You can also choose the mold height: 2 cm, 3 cm, or 4 cm / approximately 0.8, 1.2, or 1.6 inches, depending on the depth and profile you want for your finished ceramic piece.

How to Use

Roll out a clay slab to your preferred thickness, usually around 4–6 mm. Place the slab over the Star of David hump mold and gently smooth the clay so it follows the six-point shape and raised plate profile. Let the clay firm up until it can hold its form, then carefully remove it from the mold.

After demolding, refine the rim and surface, dry slowly, bisque fire, glaze, and fire according to your usual ceramic process.

Depending on your clay body and workflow, you can demold dry, use a light release agent, or place stretch film between the clay and the mold.

Please account for clay shrinkage. Most clays shrink around 10–12% during drying and firing, so the final fired ceramic piece will usually be smaller than the mold size.
