Maine Magnets

I found this stainless steel cookie cutter from a shop on Etsy - I may have mentioned, I hate Etsy as a seller but enjoy it as a buyer! I got it for a specific purpose: to make what will become refrigerator magnets for the Maine Pottery Tour. 

Two quick tips for using cookie cutters with clay: 1) cut your shape through think plastic. It rounds the edges, giving a pillowy effect, and saves you some time when smoothing the edges; they will already be pretty smooth and 

2) Place the rolled slab on a piece of smooth fabric before cutting; otherwise it's hard to get the cut piece off the tabletop without distorting it. 

These will be available only at my studio during the Maine Pottery Tour.
