Square Tile Cutter

I’m trying to purchase a square tile cutter for making handmade tiles, with internal dimensions of 108 mm length and width.

My pottery teacher has one that she reckons is about 25 years old and comes from Potterycrafts, but their current ones although they look very very similar are a slightly different size. This means I can only make my tiles while I’m in her class rather than getting on and doing them at home – I’ve tried cutting them with a knife and a straight edge, but I get far better consistency with her tile cutter. She can’t lend it to me because she needs it for other people.

I’ve looked online and can’t find one of the right dimensions. Obviously, I should’ve thought about this before I started, but hindsight is a wonderful thing!

If anybody’s got one that they would sell or even hire me, I’d be very grateful.

I’m based in Whitstable, Kent.

Commission to make a pair of large floor lamps

Some several years ago, a potter near Mold Flint made a pair of floor lamp bases for my wife and myself when we lived in Cheshire.

My wife died six years ago and I am considering giving my son and daughter a pair each for Christmas if I can get them made or something similar (see photo).

If you would be interested in making something along these lines, could you be kind enough to give me a cost guide?

Many thanks

Giffin Grip Spares

Does anyone in the potting community have a spare Giffin grip base bracket? These are the black plastic angled brackets that fix the GG to the wheel head (see image). One of mine has snapped and they are so expensive on line – you have buy 3 plus VAT, plus postage, etc…

Commission to produce plant pots

I am looking for someone to make me some handmade pots in white that replicate this ancient terracotta plant pot I have in my collection (see photo).

The size is 8.5cms diameter at the top, 5.5cms at the bottom and 10cms height.

I will be ordering a good number once the design is right, with other variations to follow, for my brand.
