What Type of Plaster are the Pottery Molds?

All of our molds are handmade using USG® Pottery Plaster #1, a high quality gypsum which is extremely durable, making them ideal for home studios, pottery studios and classrooms.

What Are the Dimensions of Drape Mold

The mold's dimensions are shown above, just below the mold. The following abbreviations are used to indicate the mold's height, width, and length, or diameter if round.

  • H = height

  • W = width

Width and length, or diameter, refer to the mold when in upright position. For example, the diameter of a bowl is the top of the bowl.
