Slab Pottery Egg Cup Template | Beginner Handbuilding Pattern, No Wheel, Gift (4 Sizes, PDF)

THIS IS A SLAB CUTTING GUIDE — not a stencil, not an SVG, not a surface pattern, and not a vinyl resist.

You print the pages, cut the paper pieces, trace them onto clay, and build the form with score-and-slip. Decorative glaze / vinyl designs are sold separately.

Make a handmade egg cup without a pottery wheel.

This TableTaskStudio instant-download PDF includes one printable slab pottery template in 4 pre-scaled size options: Mini / Kiln-Filler, Small-Kiln Friendly, Standard Studio, and Large / Gift Size.

What you receive:

US Letter printable PDF, A4 printable PDF, 4 size options, 1 inch and 2 cm scale-check boxes, basic assembly notes, buyer README, ZIP backup.

Print at 100% / actual size, confirm the scale boxes, cut out the paper template pieces, trace them onto clay, then cut and assemble using your normal score-and-slip method.

Important: This is a ceramic form template and cutting guide only. Finished food, drink, candle, heat, oven, microwave, dishwasher, outdoor, or water-tight safety depends on your clay, glaze, firing, and studio testing.

This design is also included in the Spring Garden Slab Pottery Kit.

UPDATE — CORRECTED EDITION (October 2026): This listing now delivers a corrected edition of this template. The earlier file's wall strip did not match its own base, so the cup could not be built as drawn; the corrected pattern is redrawn so the wall wraps the base exactly (finished size about 1.72 in. across x 1.53 in. tall at Standard). This corrected edition is PDF only (US Letter + A4) and does not include SVG files; any SVG mention above no longer applies. If you bought this template before, re-download from your Etsy Purchases page to get the corrected files free.
