Product Description
The Bowl Maker by Clément Marquaire from CMMC Tools
The Bowl Maker - The revolutionary way to press perfect, seamless metal clay bowls.
Welcome to a completely new way to create metal clay vessels and bowls! Designed by master artisan Clément Marquaire of CMMC Tools, The Bowl Maker is an absolute game-changer for your studio, and we are thrilled to offer it exclusively in the UK.
If you've ever tried making metal clay bowls the traditional way, you know the struggles: rolling out clay, draping it over a form, tidying up overlapping seams, avoiding weak spots at joins, and racing against the clock before the clay dries out.
The Bowl Maker completely eliminates all of those headaches by allowing you to form a flawless, seamless bowl in one simple go.
Because the bowl shaping process is so quick, your clay stays fresh. As soon as you pop your bowl out of the mould, it is perfectly primed and ready for you to carve, stamp, and texture to your heart's content without worrying about cracks!
Why You'll Love It:
-
Flawless & Seamless: Say goodbye to weak joints and messy overlaps. This tool presses a perfectly uniform shape e-v-e-r-y single time.
-
Built-In Cheat Sheet: No guessing! Each Bowl Maker has the exact bowl diameter, wall thickness, and the required grams of clay engraved right on the tool. Just weigh your clay, and you'll have zero waste and no messy overflow. Turn your bowl maker over and you'll find;
-
S - the bowl diameter in mm
-
T - the thickness of the bowl wall
-
W - the weight (amount of grammes) of clay you need to make the bowl.
-
-
The Perfect Finish: Every Bowl Maker includes a custom-sized cutter designed specifically to help you cut a neat, perfectly proportioned foot for the base of your vessel.
-
Masterclass Proven: This is the exact tool Clément uses in his highly sought-after bowl-making masterclasses!
Each Bowl Maker includes three precision components - a mould, half-sphere, and pusher, that work together to evenly raise the clay into shape. Simply weigh and place your clay in the base of the mould, insert the half-sphere and pusher and start tightening the screws to press the clay upward into the mould. Once formed, disassemble to reveal a flawless bowl, ready for you to customise, texture, or leave beautifully simple.
Each Bowl Maker also comes with a matching cutter, giving you a quick way to create a perfectly proportioned foot for your bowl.
Available Sizes:

Whether you are looking to make delicate little ring dishes, components for larger statement jewellery, or totally unique bowls for your house, The Bowl Maker takes the stress out of the construction so you can focus entirely on the fun part: decorating!
The bowls below were texture using Clément's brilliant thumb technique - start from the base of the bowl and apply a small thin flat soft blob of clay, use your thumb and in one smooth motion, push downwards from the top of the blob to "smudge" and fix it to the bowl. Work your way around and up until you're happy!
