Step 1 Making the Foundation

Step 1

Start with medium size piece of clay and condition it, Then run it through largest setting on your pasta machine , mine is 9. you need enough space to cut a two inch by one half inch rectangle.the rectangle will serve as base for this project.If you ae rolling by hand with rolling pin about 1/4 of inch thickness,

For a more precise rectangle you use the template method, of cutting a rectangle with paper and then cutting around it .
