Lori,
Find out the shrinkage of your clay ( make a clay ruler or ask
your supplier) Let's say it is 11%. Find an enlarging copy machine
and copy the original switch plate at 111%. Use the photocopy as a
template.
Hope this helps.

Subject:
I was in a local gift store (here in Port Townsend, Washington) and
came
across some lovely ceramic light switch plates. I bought one,
hoping that
I could figure out how to make them myself.
A dozen tries later, I'm still struggling with making a plate where
the
screw holes and "switch opening" line up properly. I'm also
puzzling over
how to recess the back so that the plate fits flush against the wall.
Any suggestions would be
appreciated. Thanks!
