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

Penç is the five-petalled form at the heart of Ottoman decorative art, appearing in Iznik tiles, manuscripts and Topkapı Palace carvings across centuries. This penç hatayi polymer clay cutter fills an upright shield teardrop shape with layered rows of rounded petal cells, densely packed like an artichoke or pine cone. Textural, organic, and rooted in one of the most enduring vocabularies in Ottoman surface design.

The penç form travelled through Persian, Seljuk and Ottoman decorative traditions as a symbol of the five pillars of faith, accumulating layers of meaning across each cultural context while remaining visually consistent across centuries of craft.
