A round, handbuilt planter you can make at home using a printed template and a clay slab. Print it, cut it out, start building. Perfect for small succulents or herbs, slab practice, or a thoughtful gift for any plant lover.

A few tips: planters need a drainage hole, so add it to the base before the clay stiffens. Score and slip every seam well, since the curved walls put extra stress on the joins as they dry. Dry slowly and evenly, especially in a warm or dry space. Rushing is the most common reason planters crack at the base.
