Here are a few other ways in which I use my NEVERknead Clay Conditioning Machine. I hope this opens your mind to the many possibilities the NEVERknead can do. Have fun experimenting!

I get a wad of clay and squashed it together, a few presses later the clump of clay is now compacted into a nice square ready to go back into my clay storage case.

I color blend almost everything I make and find the tear and stack method works well. Tear – Stack – Press – Repeat this process for full color blending. It’s s also great for marbling, flattening it thin enough to fit into my clay/pasta machine.

Add a rubber texture sheet on top of the clay, wood stamps work well also, pressing softly. To make the texture on the entire flat clay, I just move it around.

Place the cookie cutter on top of plastic wrap. Press down the handle until the cookie cutter goes through, making rounded edges.

Dust the mold with a release agent like cornstarch, add a rolled ball of clay. Add the cornstarch to the upper NEVERknead plate. This prevents the clay from sticking. Presto a beautiful nice flat bead.
