This printable clay shrinkage ruler is the only pottery tool that measures both wet and fired clay — in true inches.
No math. No extra rulers.
Download, print, and use it today.
Most clay shrinkage rulers are built for fired measurements only. This printable pottery tool works both ways — measure your wet piece and see the fired size, or start with the fired size you want and know exactly how large to throw it raw.
Both sides of this ceramic shrinkage ruler show true inches. Finally. A pottery tool that makes sense.
►TWO WAYS TO USE YOUR CLAY SHRINKAGE RULER
Wet to Fired
Measure your wet piece → follow the shrink line → see exactly what comes out of the kiln.
Fired to Wet
Start with the fired size you want → follow the shrink line back → know exactly how large to throw it raw.
