Mandala — Feature Sheet
A bold, symmetrical mandala designed to anchor form, focus attention, and create intentional feature areas on functional pottery.
Pairs beautifully with translucent, breaking, and high-contrast glazes.
Mandala is a full-sized EVA foam feature sheet (380 × 380 mm), created for potters who want a strong central motif rather than an all-over surface pattern. The radial design draws the eye inward, making it ideal for plates, platters, and vessels where a clear focal point enhances the form.
Unlike repeat textures, this sheet is designed to be used selectively — framed, centred, masked, or combined with other textures — allowing the mandala to function as a deliberate design element rather than background detail.
Best suited for
Centre features on dinner plates and serving platters
Framed or masked compositions
Statement pieces where surface hierarchy matters
Pairing with full-sheet textures for contrast and balance
Why potters love it
Strong focal design that enhances form and proportion
Crisp engraved detail that holds glaze variation beautifully
Creates visual structure without overwhelming the piece
Excellent peel and clean release in soft clay
Designed as part of a system
Mandala is a feature sheet within the Magpie Dinnerware System. It is intended to work alongside full-sized repeat textures and Magpie masks and templates, allowing you to:
reserve the mandala as a centre feature
frame it cleanly within plates or platters

Start with a texture. Add tools as you grow. Build a system that supports repeatable, thoughtful design.
