Welcome to Prop Options Craft. Texture rollers, sphere moulds and clever little tools, designed and made in our Dorset workshop and tested by working makers. Less fiddling, cleaner results, more time making.
Designed and 3D printed in our own workshop, so every tool is checked by the people who made it.
Developed with ceramicists like Karen Wiltshire, who use our tools in their studios every day.
Free UK delivery over £75, and US orders arrive with duties and taxes already paid.
Need a size or shape nobody sells? Our workshop can design and print it for you.
Designed with Karen Wiltshire Ceramics
Cut a circle, press it into the split mould, trim and join. Our sphere kit gives you smooth, even, hollow spheres for lanterns, planters, tealight holders and ornaments in minutes, with no guesswork and no wobbly seams. Designed with Dorset ceramicist Karen Wiltshire, who makes hers with it every week.
Such an easy way to make spheres in clay. Karen Wiltshire, @karenwiltshireceramics
Bestselling texture
One roll, instant pattern. Over 35 designs, from fine reeds and woodgrain to florals, quilting and geometrics, in 9 inch and 12 inch sizes. Deep enough to hold their detail through drying, firing and glazing.
For polymer clay makers
All our textures at 4 inches, sized for earrings, pendants, buttons, beads and trinket dishes. An easy, affordable way to build a whole library of patterns.
Leaves, petals and lace
Press a clean central vein for realistic clay leaves and petals, or roll deep carved botanical and lace patterns that glaze beautifully, with colour pooling in every recess.

New in the workshop
Our newest tools, designed and 3D printed in our Dorset workshop. A mug former for perfectly round slab mugs, hump moulds for plates, bowls and butter dishes, a curved rib for throwing mugs, a height guide for level rims, and custom maker's mark stamps to sign every piece.
Our texture rollers, sphere moulds and ridge roller work with stoneware, earthenware, porcelain, polymer clay and air dry clay. For very soft or wet clay, a light dusting of cornflour helps it release cleanly.
Yes. Our rollers press a deep, clean impression that holds its shape through drying and firing. Glaze pools in the recesses and breaks over the raised pattern, which really brings the texture out.
Around 5 to 7mm works well for pottery and 3 to 4mm for polymer clay. Thinner slabs pick up finer detail, while thicker slabs suit deep textures.
Please do not. Once a tool has been used with clay, keep it for craft only. If you also bake, we suggest keeping separate tools for each.
Let any clay dry, brush it off, then wipe with a damp sponge and dry. Please do not soak it, put it in the dishwasher or leave it somewhere hot, as the 3D printed material can warp.
