Cernit texture plates are flexible 9cm square sheets for pressing pattern into polymer clay. Roll or press clay against the plate and the design transfers in one action — no stamping, no repositioning, and the pattern runs edge to edge so you can cut from anywhere on the sheet.

They work on any polymer clay, and on air-dry clay and metal clay too. A light dusting of cornstarch or a smear of water stops the clay sticking and keeps the impression crisp.

Getting the most from them: the deeper the impression the more the pattern catches light, so press firmly and evenly. Mica powder or a thin wash of alcohol ink brushed over the raised areas after baking, or a dark wash rubbed into the recesses and wiped back, both pick the texture out sharply.
