Matariki Constellation Clay cutters Also known as Pleaides

Waitā

The Waitā – Paua Matariki Cutter is inspired by the Matariki star Waitā, traditionally connected to the ocean and the many forms of life within it. Featuring flowing koru-inspired movement and paua shell influences, this cutter creates elegant polymer clay pieces with a strong coastal and cultural aesthetic.

Designed with layered flowing detail inside a smooth oval silhouette, the Waitā cutter produces lightweight statement pieces with clean cut-out definition and balanced structure. The curved forms and wave-like elements pair beautifully with metallic finishes, paua-inspired colours, mica powders, and textured clay surfaces.

Available in three sizes, this cutter is ideal for statement earrings, layered jewellery, charms, and meaningful handmade collections inspired by Aotearoa and the natural world.

Crafted from durable resin, the cutter is designed to produce sharp, consistent cuts in raw polymer clay while maintaining intricate internal detailing.

Special thanks to ruthrua88_artist for collaborating with Adaptium on the design inspiration for these Matariki cutters. We are grateful to work alongside talented artists to help bring meaningful, contemporary Māori-inspired designs to the polymer clay community.

Care & use of your cutters

Our unique polymer clay cutters are printed to order here in NZ.

Made from resin (not food safe). Colours may vary.

Sizes may have up to 5 mm variance due to hand measuring.

The tapered cutting edge gives crisp, detailed cuts with minimal cleanup. Embossed details sit 2 mm below the edge – for best results, use on clay slabs 3 mm+ thick.

For clean releases (especially with detailed designs), dust with cornflour or use the water technique.

Wash gently in warm soapy water and dry thoroughly. Keep out of direct sunlight to prevent warping or fading.

Handle gently – the fine edges are sharp but can be damaged if forced.

Custom sizes/shapes available — just email info.adaptium@gmail.com.
