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

Sırma means gold or silver thread, Nakış means embroidery. Ottoman Sırma Nakış was the art of weaving metallic threads into silk and velvet to create ceremonial garments and furnishings for the palace. This ottoman polymer clay cutter captures the symmetry of that craft in clay, a rounded oval shield shape holding a four-way floral cross motif with clean teardrop petals arranged around a central point.

The metallic embroidery tradition of the Ottoman court produced some of the most precisely symmetrical surface designs in the empire, where the constraints of thread and needle created a geometric discipline that translated directly into the floral cross compositions found across palace textiles and ceremonial dress.
