All sizes listed are approximate and given in millimetres. Minor variation is normal and part of the handcrafted nature of 3D printed cutters.

Clay thickness and slab preparation will vary depending on the design. As a general starting point, I work at approximately 3mm for most of my designs. More intricate, high-detail work may benefit from a thinner slab. Condition your clay thoroughly and press firmly and evenly for the cleanest result.

Rinse your cutter with warm water after use and allow to air dry completely before storing. Avoid acetone, harsh solvents, or prolonged heat exposure as these can affect the material over time. Store flat or upright in a dry place away from direct sunlight.

About This Design

Where tradition meets the studio

Telkari is the traditional Turkish art of silver filigree, fine metalwork twisted and soldered into intricate decorative forms originating in Kastamonu and practised for centuries. This turkish filigree polymer clay cutter translates that precision into clay: a pointed diamond frame with concave indented sides, centred on a detailed eight-pointed star and compass rosette surrounded by fine dot work. Available in two sizes to suit different scales of work.

Kastamonu telkari work is recognised as one of Turkey's most significant intangible cultural heritage crafts, where geometric precision and organic metalwork technique combine into forms that have remained visually consistent across centuries of practice.
