For me I find cutters more useful because you can not only measure amounts of clay but also cut circles and holes with them. The set I used in the video were Amaco's Polycutters. It came with a diamond, 3 ovals, and four circle cutters that are very useful. The circles are 15mm, 11mm, 8mm and 6mm. You can never really have too many circle cutters though they are so handy. In regards to your Topic Category question. If you are referring to the block of navigation links that reference the Courses / Tools / Supplies / Handling / Techniques / Etc / Etc /... they should be right at the top left of the site under the header and under the new Custom Google Search box. Is this not where you see them? Andrea, I haven’t used the template you’re talking about but I know which one you mean.

Iv'e found some but there are many more sizes available & I don't want to have to get them all. I just noticed that the Topic Categories are now right at the bottom & you have to scroll past all of the latest blog to get to it, small thing I know but it was easier when it was at the top.[or is it just my computer doing silly things?] Oops forgot to ask what are the 4 sizes in the video?
