The Bowl Maker™ by Clément Marquaire

Traditionally, creating bowls in metal clay meant rolling out a slab and draping it over a form - often resulting in overlapping seams, weak points, and frustrating cracks during firing. On top of that, the clay begins drying immediately, limiting your ability to refine or decorate the piece while it’s still workable.

Clément Marquaire reimagined the process by designing and producing The Bowl Maker.

This innovative tool lets you form a perfectly shaped bowl in one smooth motion without seams, cracks and a rushed drying time. The result is a strong, uniform piece of fresh clay that’s ready for detailing the moment it comes out of the mold.

Each set includes three precision components - a mold, sphere, and pusher, that work together to evenly raise the clay into shape. Simply place your clay, assemble the tool, and use the screws to press the clay upward into the mold. Once formed, disassemble to reveal a flawless bowl, ready to customize, texture, or leave beautifully simple.

The Bowl Maker also includes a matching cutter, allowing you to easily add a foot to your bowl. If you’ve used The Ring Maker or The Bangle Maker before, the process to using the cutter is the same.

Watch it in action (located within photos): Clément demonstrates how to use the bowl maker step-by-step, along with two simple ways to add custom texture - using a ball stylus and a texture tile. He also shows how to create and attach a foot, giving you complete start to finish instruction.

Each tool is clearly marked on the bottom with its size, wall thickness, and required clay amount.

Available in four sizes:

• 40 mm (20g clay)
• 60 mm (35g clay)
• 70 mm (50g clay)
• 80 mm (80g clay)
