Rolling a Desired Thickness of Clay ~ Use a Pasta Machine
NEWS UPDATE ~ April 26, 2006
This wonderful clay machine is undergoing re-engineering to
make it even better! It will be in full productions as
soon as possible.
I highly recommend the
Ultimate Clay
Machine ™ by Makin's® This machine has 9 thickness settings
and a wider
opening than others on the market. It has
non-stick rollers...no more marks left from the metal
rollers reacting to the clay!

If you don’t have a pasta machine, you can roll the clay by hand.
-
First, flatten the piece by hand.
-
On a covered work area, lay your clay between two items the thickness you need such as dowels or two stacks of cardstock.
-
Now, using an acrylic or glass roller, roll your clay to the thickness of your stacks or dowels. The roller ends should ride on the dowels or stacks.
In other words...get a pasta machine ASAP!
