In this tutorial video, I share how I make printmaking screens to use on pottery using the Cricut machine! This is a great way to make the pottery process faster and more efficient AND keep that handmade nature in your pieces. There's so much you can do with these screens, and I show you two examples of how I used them on my sip cups for my small business.

Hi! I'm Jessie, the gal behind third day clay. I'm a 25-year-old potter/ceramic artist based in Orlando, Florida. With my small business, third day clay, I make and sell sip cups (also known as ceramic to-go cups). You might recognize some of my work, the citrus sip cups - they floated around on the internet for some time!
I started my small business in September 2023, shortly after graduating from the University of Florida in the Spring. I've loved every minute of creating unique pottery that people can love and cherish, along with learning how to run a small business! I hope these videos give you more of an inside look into what it's like running a pottery business and I also hope they add value to your life in some way.
Thank you for tagging along with me on this small business/pottery journey of mine!!! This really is so cool to me.
