MKG001 Posted July 13 Report Share Posted July 13 I'd appreciate advice on how to lay out an evenly spaced pattern, such as a meander or a series of triangles, around the circumference of a pot. Are there suggested ways of measuring and marking out? Or is this mainly a craft of doing it by eye? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Min Posted July 13 Report Share Posted July 13 There is a really good template maker website (free) which includes a circle divider generator which you can input your pot diameter, number of divisions and a few other functions. Link to it here. https://www.blocklayer.com/circle-dividereng Could print it out then lay it on top of your pot and do the markings with a pintool. There are also ready made circle dividers like this one from MKM Piedmont Pottery and Hulk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
