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!
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!
@@nowvoyagerNE I would if I could figure out how to post a picture on here. Is there a way? I think we will put a link in the description section and you can click over to see them. If you are on INstagram or on Facebook, just look up Little Street Pottery and the video is there
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.
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.
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.
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
Just got the pieces out of the kiln...here is a link: instagram.com/p/CRczpRIDzsQ/
Gorgeous 🥰
Love you all God bless you guys keep it up dear 💐
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.
You squeezed every penny you paid out of your rubber mat and turned it into wonderful textures. Thanks for sharing!
...and we ain’t done yet! Thanks for watching!

O'zbekistonlik do'stimga rahmat!
The mug with the vertical ribbing reminds me so much of the ceramic containers that Victorian marmalade was sold in.
Wow these textures really speak to me! I love that you are so creative with hardware store items!
Thanks Joan....we kept finding more ways to use the mat...it was fun. We glazed the mugs...hope they come out 🤞
Where -what hardware can I buy the piece of rubber?
Love these!! You may also find cabinet mats/contact mats with patterns in them.
Great idea!!
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!
Love these!

Another terrific video.. so generous!

Stay tuned...they are in the kiln now...I’ll post on fb and Instagram....
I posted the final mugs. Check out Little Street Pottery on facebook or Instagram to see. Thanks for watching!!!
@@annruel9142 : you won't show us here? *:-(*
@@annruel9142 : i checked them out and "liked" (joined i think) your FB page. they look nice. will you also try other glazes?

Excellent, I'm on the hunt for some ribbed rubber matting now :)
This is sooo creative!! Love it! Can’t wait to do my own.
Thanks for watching as always Michele!
Your creativity never disappoints 😁
Thank you so much - appreciate you watching!
Cornstarch could make it easier to remove mat? I got stuck today . So its on my mind!
These are wonderful ideas!
Thanks Janet - appreciate you watching!

How creative!!!
Ann, what is the plastic mat that you working on? Looks great for clay and doesn’t stick to your table surface.
I use silicone baking mats...they are great and easy to clean up!
Love all these ideas!!
Thanks LR! I appreciate you watching and hope it was inspirational
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.
In fresh clay they didn’t stick at all...the rubber worked well with the clay!
Dust a bit of corn starch on the mat and then brush off the excess
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.
Great tip! Thanks!
You can also use underside of car floor mats for textures.
Indeed...love the mats!
Simply gorgeous ! How can I see your pieces after they’re glazed ?
Just posted in the Community Section - let me know what you think! THanks.

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.
Anne, do you have detailed instructions on how to cut the ribbed mat to make the stampy250?

We used pencil...but there are also those silver sharpies that can work. Thanks for watching!
@@LittleStreetPottery thank you!
Could you tell me what size do you use for your grid marking? Such is it ¾" ½" or 1"?
@@Nick15650 we tried to make each pattern 1” square
@@LittleStreetPottery thank you thank you thank you!!! You have no idea how helpful you are, bless you and your family Anne!!
where did you purchase the rubber matt?
We got ours at Home Depot but there is also a link in the description to purchase from the Amazon Overlords.
👏👏👏
Where do I get the patterns?
We dont have links to these...we just made them up the day we shot :)
