PrevWhat are Extruder Dies?
Extruder dies are interchangeable metal plates fitted to the end of a clay extruder. As clay is pushed through the barrel, it adopts the profile cut into the die, allowing potters to extrude repeated shapes with minimal effort. These tools are widely used in handbuilding, tile-making, architectural ceramics, production studios, and craft workshops because they ensure uniformity and reduce forming time.
Whether you’re shaping handles, producing tiles, forming hollow sections, or customising your own profiles from blank dies, our range offers versatility and durability for studios of every size.
Extruder Die Types and Accessories
These dies are manufactured to withstand pressure, resist corrosion and deliver consistent results with clay and other ceramic materials. Their precise construction ensures the clay flows evenly, reducing tearing or distortion during extrusion. Potclays supplies a broad range of die types to support different applications:
Solid Dies
Solid dies offer simple circles, squares and rectangles that are ideal for straps, tiles, coils and decorative borders.
Hollow Dies
Hollow dies include round and square hollow profiles, perfect for lightweight forms, handles and architectural components.
Blank Dies
Black dies are for potters who want to customise their own shapes.
Clay Extruder Sets
Die sets provide ready-made collections for varied studio work.
Accessories and Expansion Chambers
Expansion chambers and boxes increase internal space for larger or sculptural extrusions. We also stock a range of speciality accessories, including die masks, stainless-steel braces and adapters to ensure your extruder setup remains stable and adaptable across different tools.
