No pottery wheel?
No problem!
We're slab building, baby!
It's basically rolling cookie dough — except you end up with modern ceramics you'll actually want to keep forever.
Paper templates doing their thing!
Cups, plates, platters, pots, wall art, decorative pieces... there’s no limit!

About us
Femke's pottery journey started with a spinning wheel fantasy (think Molly and Sam…). Rosalia grew up building ceramics with her mum in Spain and knew better.
They met working together at advertising agency Frida von Fuchs, bonded over design, and ended up building a clay club together.
Rosalia brings the craft heritage. Femke brings the beginner's perspective. Between the two of them, they've figured out how to make slab building feel like something anyone can actually do.
No wheel.
No third grade art class vibe.
Just really good projects and a great time.

Ok, so this is pottery…

Burning Questions
Do I need any prior experience?
God no! Clay Slab Club was built for people who have zero to very little experience. (Hi, that was us once too!) Every project comes with a full video walkthrough — and if you want, you can even follow our color combos etc. We got zero ‘figure it out on your own’-moments — only if you want to!
What do I actually get when I buy a template?
A downloadable PDF with the paper template — it’s yours! But that's just the start. Every template comes with its own webpage where you'll find a full walkthrough video, step-by-step instructions, glaze or color combinations, and ideas for variations and finishing touches.
So you're never just getting a shape — you're getting the whole projec!
What equipment do I need?
Way less than you’d think. We put together a free Home Tool Kit guide with a complete shopping list. Grab a few things from your kitchen drawers, pick up some tools and clay from your local craft store or A*****, and you're good to go!
Do I need a kiln?
Nope! No kiln, no drama!
You can totally make really fancy decorative stuff with air dry clay. Just keep in mind that your pieces won't be fully waterproof or food safe though. If you want to make kitchen and tableware, a quick Google search for a local studio or ceramics shop will do the trick — they'll most likely have a firing service or know someone who does! Don’t be shy, they’ll love to have you!
Is this actually for me?
If you've made it this far down this page, so something clicked!
Maybe it's the idea of making something beautiful with your own hands. Maybe it's the thought of a Sunday afternoon with some clay, a good playlist, and zero pressure. Maybe you just really want that perfect mug.
Whatever brought you here — we think you're exactly the kind of person this was made for!
Welcome, Friend ×
I've been doing pottery for years. Is this still for me?
Absolutely! Our templates are designed to take the prep work off your plate — so you can spend less time measuring and more time experimenting. You’ll make the templates your own: adjust the proportions, mix up the glazes, combine techniques. Think of it less as following instructions and more as having a really solid base to riff on.
