Gorgeous 🥰

The mug with the vertical ribbing reminds me so much of the ceramic containers that Victorian marmalade was sold in.

I have used mats before but never thought to alter them so many ways. The mugs look amazing

Hi Kat! It was fun to play with for sure. There are even more designs I could make with this mat than what I showed in this video.

Love you all God bless you guys keep it up dear 💐

Ann these are so amazingly easy to create…. Wondering why most of us have not thought to be so creative! Thank You so very much for sharing!

You squeezed every penny you paid out of your rubber mat and turned it into wonderful textures. Thanks for sharing!

Ann, thank you so much for this video. I just got my mat and have watched it many times. I have a question. On your mug handles, did you put a small coil around the top of the handle for support and do you do something similar for the bottom? Your presentation is so very nice. Good diction, measured pace, and you don't yuck it up with unnecessary chatter. A pleasure to listen to.

Hi Karen - the coil is SOMETIMES for support if I think the handle may be susceptible to cracking because of the design (thin etc) - but most of the time its just decorative and looking to echo some other design element of the piece. Thanks!

Excellent, I'm on the hunt for some ribbed rubber matting now :)

Your creativity never disappoints 😁

Indeed...love the mats!

If you dusted the mat with cornstarch before impressing into the clay I think it would release easier and prevent any distortion of your pattern.

So neat how stretching ones' mind can bring about so many varied patterns from one simple mat. Great result and and very inspiring. Was that the elusive engineer Mr. Benderstiff's hand that appeared at one point in your video? Another good one Ann....Cheers...Freddie

Good eye Freddie...Jerry tried to sneak back in but alas is now mopping Jon the Potter’s workshop floor. My guess however is that we’ve not seen the last of him. He was pretty bitter over the Pebble Mug Incident...stay tuned.

Cornstarch could make it easier to remove mat? I got stuck today . So its on my mind!

just beautiful. you are a perfectionist, which makes all the difference! i wonder how all those little lines and groves will hold the glaze. will you show us how you've glazed the objects and how they turn out after the final firing? thank you! take care!

How creative!!! Ann, what is the plastic mat that you working on? Looks great for clay and doesn’t stick to your table surface.

Fantastic use of the textures and so many combinations. Loved the stamp 250! One question, how do stop the tiles from sticking? Looks like they lifted off easily.

Dust a bit of corn starch on the mat and then brush off the excess

I have a Wilton cake mat similar to yours. Do you have any trouble with the clay sticking to it? You got great registration from the ribbed mat bits. Good job 👍 I used a similar mat I bought to replace the floor covering in my 1978 MGB.

Hi John. I didnt have any trouble with the clay sticking. I have a feeling that if the clay would have been wetter, the rubber might have been difficult to release, but the clay right out of the bag was no trouble. If you try it and the clay sticks, try dusting the rubber with a bit of corn starch.

I just wondered what size of pvc pipe you used. I have 4” but it looks like a mug would be huge. Off to the hardware store. Great video. Thank you

We used a 4” pipe...don’t forget shrinkage....they are big mugs but thought they needed to be to better show the texture.

Simply gorgeous ! How can I see your pieces after they’re glazed ?

Anne, do you have detailed instructions on how to cut the ribbed mat to make the stampy250? Sorry that I'm so obtuse, I just hate wasting any of the mat through trial and error. 😬 TIA

This and all your videos are a treasure for me, thank you!!! May I ask, what kind of marker do you use to mark out the pattern on the back of the rubber mat? I just got my mat and want to start making designs, but all I have are black sharpies. TIA
