Make even strands and shaped profiles for your clay work with the Royal & Langnickel PS02 hand press. Pressing clay through an interchangeable disc gives the strand the shape of its opening. Use the profiles for borders, lines and small decorative elements.
Set contents
- One metal hand press with plunger.
- 19 interchangeable metal discs with different openings.
The set contains 20 parts: one press and 19 discs. The discs shape clay during extrusion; they are not templates for cutting shapes from a clay slab. Clay and a work surface are not included.
Choose the profile you need
Use a round opening for a round strand, a narrow opening for a strip and a disc with several holes for several fine strands at once. The set also offers angular and decorative profiles. Choose an opening to suit the detail and try a short piece before adding it to your work.
Extruding clay
Work with soft, well-kneaded clay. Place the selected disc in the end cap, load the cylinder with clay, close the press and push the plunger slowly and evenly. Support the emerging strand on a clean surface. If the clay resists passing through the opening, stop and check the opening and the clay’s softness rather than pressing harder.
Use and care
Release pressure before changing a disc or opening the press. Remove clay residue from the cylinder and discs before it hardens, and dry metal parts after cleaning. Keep the discs together so you can find each opening easily.
