Couldn't load pickup availability
This die extrudes a shape that can be used to weave baskets out of clay strips. Each strip is five "strands" wide. The die fits in NorthStar and TA Metal Works 4" square clay extruders.
The three patterns on the die are identical, so you can produce strips to weave faster.
Extrusion Dimensions: Each pattern is 1 1/4" x 1/4".
Die Dimensions: The die is 4 1/4" x 4 1/4" and 1/4" thick.
This die is compatible with the other basket-weaving dies:
The low wall around the top of the die prevents clay from oozing out sideways, as sometimes happens with square extruders.
This die is also sold as part of a set of three basket weave dies for the NorthStar and TA Metal Works 4" clay extruders
If you happen to also have a 2" handheld extruder, you might find these basket weave dies for 2" extruders useful. With them, you can practice weaving baskets without cleaning the large extruder.
