Cutting Clay

Finely engineered and affordable cutters for use in precious metal clay.

Stamp - Constellations 19/05/2024

Very excited to bring you this new product.๐Ÿฅณ
I had originally designed one of these for my lovely wife Be Creative Jewellery , her input and clay skills for trialling have been invaluable.

Constellation Stamps.๐Ÿ˜Ž
Very finely designed from scratch with great care taken to ensure the sizing of the stars scaled within each stamp to match their brightness in the night sky.

This beautiful set of 12 stamps comes in it's own magnetically latched box with each stamp held safely in it's own pocket.

Two options are available for these, with and without the name indentation.

Each stamp has a button indicating it's orientation to ensure that you can lay it out correctly on your clay, or by all means go freestyle.

Instructions for use are within the listing including pictures of the process.
I will be selling these individually but will need to set that up in slower time.

I did have a go myself but the only thing I can make out of clay is a sausage.๐Ÿคช

Remember, Sinter week 15% discount is still active till midnight on Tuesday.

Stamp - Constellations Unleash your astrological creativity with this finely crafted constellation stamp set. Featuring zodiac constellation designs with varying star sizes dependent on their brightness in the night sky, these stamps will leave a clean imprint every time. Conveniently stored in a beautiful magnetic box, t...

NEW RELEASE!

Very excited to bring you another customer request, my take on the good old rolling spacers.

I've designed these to be made with the latest in printing technology (that I can afford). This brings you contrasting size marking in 2 standards, a superior rolling surface and accuracy of size to within 0.05 mm of your selected spacer.๐Ÿง
The colour coding corresponds to the rainbow for easier selection and of course to add some colour to your workstation.๐ŸŒˆ

This set of 10 spacers (5 sizes) are of course housed inside their own storage tube for easy and safe packing away when not in use.

Priced at ยฃ17.45 for the set.
I'm also offering free shipping till the new year on orders over ยฃ15 for those who sign up on the website.๐Ÿฅณ You'll need to enter code SHIPMEFREE at checkout.

Best Wishes

Hi Lovely People,

I'm excited to be bringing you a new cutter family and in the spirit of my boundless imagination, I'll be calling them Longy Longs.๐Ÿฅธ

These are..erm... longer than usual so I've developed the sizes of 60, 50, 40 & 30 mm long from tip to tip.

To give you an idea of clay usage, the 60 mm can be cut by rolling out ~7 g of clay (not all will be used though).

These of course will come in their own part marked box with the same box dimensions as the Big Beefy range.๐Ÿ˜€

Hello again lovely people.
Another Medium shape to add to the collection. This one is modelled on a compass face, or the Northern Star if you squint your eyes.๐Ÿ˜œ

This set comprises the standard medium sizes of 30, 25, 20, 15, 10 mm from longest point to point.

As always, you'll get the high detail and finish for superior cuts in every cutter. They are also stored in their very own part marked box to keep those crisp edges nice and safe for future use.๐Ÿ˜

Not all Teenys leave the print farm.
Before they do, each and every one goes through a magnified Inspection process to ensure that those fine cutting edges are blemish free.๐Ÿง

This wee daisy will be destined for the box of shame.๐Ÿฅบ

It's time!
The doors are open and the Teenys are getting out!๐Ÿ˜

Craft Cutters for metal and polymer clay 15/08/2023

Hi all, I've been setting up the shop and getting the domain all buttoned down.
A bit of a change in the web address was required but I like it. :)

https://cuttingclay.tools/

I'll be running things differently this time. As I've changed my day job I'll be focussing on producing cutters at the weekends. To ensure that you still get the best service, I'll be holding stock of items which I'm hoping will enable me to keep your shipping times down; something that was getting longer before I had my sabbatical. :)

This could mean that some items will be unavailable for purchase until new stock is made but it will make my workload more manageable.
You can subscribe to my mailing list which I will use to alert of stock drops, new products and of course dish out some unique discounts. WOOHOO!

Prices have also had to go up (BOO!) to make it maintainable for me. :( I will of course do my utmost to get these down a bit by design tweaks, new equipment to make the processes slicker and flash sales.

Please bare with me whilst I get the shelves filled and shipping rates updated, I will be back with all your favourites soon.๐Ÿฅณ

Missed you all.๐Ÿ˜

It's been a crazy year but the new home is settling in. Machine warm up and trial runs are underway.
Watch this space....... ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

11/08/2022

Hello all, I'll be shutting down the printers to step away and focus on some family time and a few holibags.๐Ÿฅฐ
You'll see i've taken the vast majority of products offline on the website, this is to save orders pilling up and lead times increasing (the exception being the Bangel Mandrel to support The PMC Studio Limited.)

I'd love to be able to take your orders but I need to take some time out to spend with my family.

I changed my day job this year which has meant I've had less time to devote to making cutters, some of you will have realised this with an increase in time it has taken me to fulfil your orders.
As I'm a one man band with a finite capacity, this lead time has been slowly increasing and queries regarding order status have also increased.
Most of you will know that my Customers (that's you) are at the heart of why I do what I do. It's partly with this in mind that I need to stop the order intake before too many smiles turn upside down.

The increase in orders has been very humbling as it's great to see so many people returning to buy more, this has come at a personal cost though and as we are only here on this big spinning ball once then I need to free some time to devote to my nearest and dearest.

It's difficult to say that I may not be back in the near future so I am also looking at finding a new home for your favourite cutters.

Peace and love to you all.โค๏ธ

Hello all, you may think i've been absent for a while and whilst this is true on releasing new products, I have been busy on an exciting project in the background.
Rising energy costs has no doubt affected us all and i'm no exception. In order to offset these costs without defaulting to increasing my product prices, i've been implementing an open source machine from http://recreator3d.com/ which is allowing me to recycle my plastic bottles back into filament which I can in turn make products from.๐Ÿฅฐ
Currently I'm only putting this into my boxes to test the waters so if you receive any boxes with a translucent look then you can be assured that you're lucky to be helping me keep my costs low whilst also helping reduce my plastic waste.๐Ÿ”„
Next step is to harness some renewable energy to run this machine on.๐ŸŒž๐Ÿ’จ

Enjoy the video of this process.๐Ÿ˜Ž

Thank you for your continued custom, support and feedback.
Together, we make my products better, for you and the environment.๐Ÿซถ
....new releases will be returning....

I've been facing my clay fear today ๐Ÿ˜€ and seeing how the Teeny Tiny cutters face up to polymer clay.๐Ÿค“
These are all 7 mm cutters which I've used on pale pink FIMO soft.

I'm no expert in clay handling but I'm pleased with the results.๐Ÿ˜Ž

21/05/2022

The Teeny Tinies really are Teeny.

Here you can see a zoom of a 4 mm TT heart taken under my USB measuring microscope.
This is just one of the tools I use to check you are getting the best quality cutters. This one checks for resin shrinkage compared to the 3D design CAD model.๐Ÿ˜Ž

There will be a factor of measurement accuracy but you can see how tiny these really are, with a cutting edge of ~0.25 - 0.30 mm these must be one of thee finest cutting edges in the precious metal clay community.๐Ÿค“

Monstera Leaves 15/05/2022

Hello all,

It's been a long time coming but I'm back on the design board.๐Ÿฅณ

A few new ones which have come at a customer's request, the lovely and intricate Monstera leaves. Currently only available in 2 styles and both coming in at 30 mm.

I will be working on scaling these but they are taking a bit more attention than usual to keep the detail in those fine cutting edges and I won't be risking any impact on quality.

I've been testing out a new resin and coupled with optimised print settings, is enabling me to get even finer detail without compromising on strength; this has allowed me to use thinner walls on these cutters and is opening up new designs which will have finer detailed shapes.๐Ÿค“

I've also been listening to you all and will be creating some care notes and instructions to help along your creative journey. A lot of these tips have come from the incredible community which I'm humbled to be of service to so please keep the feedback coming.๐Ÿฅฐ
https://cuttingclay.co.uk/products/monstera-leaves

Monstera Leaves These cutters are made with finer walls (0.5 mm thick) to ensure the intricate features around the leaves are kept intact when pressing into your clay. Made using a tough engineering strength resin ensures they will stand up to the pressure of cutting without compromising on detail. They measure 30....

Hi All, I've got 5 minutes to come up from air in between bangle mandrel production.๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿคฏ
Julie Holt, the response to this product has been very humbling. I'm hoping to put together some instructions to send out in the future as a few have requested, but for now I better dive back in and get bangling.๐Ÿคฉ

Some exciting things going on in the background where I've had an amazing opportunity to support AMCAW - Alliance for Metal Clay Arts Worldwide with some goodies for Sinter.๐Ÿ˜

I'm also studying up on some new capabilities to bring forward some fresh new ideas for you all later in the year.๐Ÿ˜Ž

Also, I didn't even notice but Cutting Clay's 1st birthday has not long passed. Happy birthday to me......๐Ÿฅณ
I shall catch up on that one and celebrate in a bit more style.

Ta ta and cheerio for now.

Keep those cutters, cutting.

NEW RELEASE!๐Ÿฅณ
I am very proud and excited to bring you a design collaboration with Julie Holt from The PMC Studio Limited and PMC Studio Membership.
Julie came up with this idea about a month ago and I was happy to turn this into a reality using her feedback and advice. Over the course of the month, she has been using her expert skills with PMC OneFire 950 Sterling to fine tune features and sizes factoring in shrinkage.
This unique Bracelet mandrel has several features designed to make your work flow as smooth as possible and to ensure compatibility with other Cutting Clay mandrel products.
