How to use your Polly Collective Depth Guides

A simple demo on how to use your brand new Polly Collective Depth Guides to make the perfect slab!
So you invested in our amazing simple Depth Guides and have no idea what or how to use them? Well after you watch this you will be fine!
If you have no idea what “Depth Guides” are also watch and you will see why you should have these.... if your a slab maker for contemporary style polymer clay making!
Why Depth Guides???
2 years ago my workshops were really taking off, especially statement earrings and I needed to figure out a way for my students to be able to make and roll a slab easily, without waste, without going to thin or too thick! And without having to buy a load of clay machines. And then my idea for depth guides just happened and I went with it! Now they are used all over the world by a large percentage of the contemporary slab makers! They also work well for bead making to get a consistent depth - they eliminate the need for a bulky clay machine if you don’t have the space, they store away as easily as a pen either in a drawer or a cup! Oh and you know they come is sparkly glitter, bright colours and look super cool in your studio right?
How do you get your hands on them???
Either my regular restocks - check my Instagram bio for upcoming dates or through my exclusive stockist Jewellery Supplies Co.
Yes we both ship internationally and I also consider wholesale if your a maker who wishes to teach and use them as a tool in workshops - this is strictly by application and not automatically accepted.

[@emc4897]

Hey where can i purchase your packs of guides. I can't find them on the website x

[@pollycollective]

They are on my website :) but also Blackbird and Violet or 2wards Polymer Clay or Jewellery Supplies Co

[@kimburbridge9934]

Thanks for another great video. I love laughing along to the commentary as much I enjoy the actual tips. Haha.

[@ClioMako]

I also slice the slab to get the air out. I thought it as unorthodox, but whatever work, I guess. :p

[@pollycollective]

It’s a very well known technique :)

[@traciceretto4875]

Everything on all mentioned websites are sold out. 🙁

[@pollycollective]

Traci Ceretto Yes but I do have a restock date as I mentioned in the description and Jewellery Supplies Co also has a restock coming!

[@pollycollective]

Keep an eye on insta for everyone’s restocks - remember we are all small biz and hand made xxx

[@agnesroux1876]

Hello ! Your videos are really amazing ! I love them 😍. Why not sell your products via Amazon ? Actually i'm in France and the shipping is very very expansive so i can't order on your website 😢.

[@pollycollective]

I'm a micro biz and it doesn't really work for me unfortunately x Im sure you will find amazing suppliers closer to you x

[@emmegoodlett2921]

I can’t wait till the restock to get mine!!

[@meyerobyn]

this is hilarious... and really helpful. Love it :D

[@zoemunoz8087]

You have some of the BEST clay videos that I've come across ❤️ so so so helpful!...and hilarious!

[@pollycollective]

Wow thats such a compliment thank you xxxxx

[@natmondoni2796]

Such a super simple (and super necessary) tool, yet nowhere to be found in the UK 😂 can’t wait to get mine in the next restock 🥰

[@carriepunkyfae6455]

is there like a guideline of which depth is good for what projects? I make book marks and cup toppers.. should they be a certain depth?

[@pollycollective]

I like 3mm for earrings, if you cure clay correctly you can do any depth, for book marks you really just have to think about aesthetics and what look good!

[@vickim4359]

Thanks Sheree - another great video - having been more of a cane and extrusion clayer, - think Ill get going on some more slabs !

[@lisaborens235]

I'm a new viewer and have watched a couple of videos. I started watching this one till you dropped the F--- bomb. If this is how you do things.. I'm sadly withdrawing. I want you to be yourself but we don't need to hear that.

[@grittykitty50]

Lisa, I agree. I'm not a prude, but some simple editing would have taken care of that. Not a very professional offering.

[@pollycollective]

No problem unsubscribe! If your that easily offended you won’t like my videos because I’m not here to make everyone happy and pretend to be someone I’m not.

[@pollycollective]

@@grittykitty50 I’m Not here to be a “professional” I’m just myself if you don’t like it please feel free to watch the millions of other tutorials you can find here on KZbin.

[@WhereTheBeaversLive]

Any idea on restock dates?

[@pollycollective]

Pop to my insta x

[@thebells4229]

Your videos are SO helpful and so enjoyable to watch! You are hilarious and a great teacher! Much love from Texas! ❤️

[@lboogie875]

I’ve been waiting for a while for the restock. Hope it’s soon.

[@pollycollective]

I restock monthly and my guides are now also stocked with a stockist - Jewellery Supplies Co.

[@sharonapage6321]

Where can l buy the large depth guides?? I have only been able to fine the small size.

[@tamaraclapper]

So what’s the plus side to using the guides vs a polymer clay machine? Less distortion?

[@pollycollective]

If you put a detailed slab through a pasta machine it will stretch and distort. Using guides gives you an even depth while controlling your roll down to that depth.

[@manisha-colorcreativityartwork]

nice. which video editor you are using? did you zoom in after your clay making process is over or while filming at same time? pls tell.

[@pollycollective]

iMovie it’s all done on my phone

[@georginakamalakerr9324]

How can I order a set of these guides? I have just discovered you site and love your technique. Thank you for sharing.

[@pollycollective]

Pop to my website x

Great vid! What clay do you use ?!

[@pollycollective]

[@perlamoreno5701]

Why is it $20 to ship to the US!? 😭😭 💔💔

[@pollycollective]

Perla Moreno Because that’s how much I get charged from our postal service.

[@perlamoreno5701]

Polly Collective I know 😭. One day I’ll be able to buy your guides ❤️.

[@pollycollective]

It’s crazy! I also track as well because it’s just not worth losing orders to the abyss that is a postal service 😂

[@juliastrometski4661]

Always a delight to watch and listen to you! Always pick up good tricks and tips! Thanks Sheree. 😃
