Ornamental Scroll is a dense, repeating surface texture built for scale, continuity, and long-term use across a body of work.
The scrollwork is deliberately non-directional, allowing the pattern to read consistently whether it’s wrapped, cropped, framed, or used edge-to-edge. This makes it particularly effective for potters creating cohesive sets — where plates, bowls, pitchers, tumblers, and serving pieces need to speak the same visual language without relying on a single focal moment.
At full scale, the texture creates an immersive surface. When used in sections, it becomes a quieter structural element that supports form, glaze, and proportion. The pattern holds together across different formats, making it easy to move between dinnerware, vessels, and functional ware while maintaining continuity.
Ornamental Scroll responds well to a wide range of glazing approaches. Transparent and celadon-style glazes emphasise the layered detail, while satin mattes and breaking glazes highlight the depth and rhythm of the scrollwork. The relief is crisp without being brittle, designed to impress cleanly and release easily.
Like all Magpie full-sized texture sheets, Ornamental Scroll is designed as part of a modular system. It pairs naturally with Magpie mask and template tools, allowing you to frame, reserve, repeat, or align the pattern consistently across multiple forms. Start with the texture alone, or integrate it into a broader toolkit as your work develops.
This is a foundational surface — versatile, repeatable, and built to support thoughtful making over time.
How to use
Impress into soft slab-built clay for even, consistent detail
Wrap around cylindrical forms such as mugs, tumblers, and pitchers
Use edge-to-edge for full coverage, or crop into panels and bands
Combine with Magpie masks and templates for structured repetition
Suitable for handbuilding and wheel-thrown work

Designed by a potter, for potters
Ornamental Scroll is sized to integrate with the Magpie Dinnerware System, offering a more concentrated design area while retaining full compatibility with masks and templates. Use it to create focal moments within a larger form, or repeat the feature across plates, bowls, and serving ware for visual continuity.
