One method that I use is to chisel a shape of the desired star 3/16ths of an inch deep into a large piece o hard wood. Preferable manzanita or seasoned oak. Fire harden the cast, the you guessed it, melt steel in a forge, if you have a lot of pine cones and a stockpile I the affore mentioned hard woods, smelt it yourself in a brick oven. Be very careful. Pour the molten metal into the cast and let stand till metal hardens, then use a standard screwdriver to chip out edges slightly, not too much you might want to re-use the cast, then I use a whetstone and a lot of vegetable oil to shape and sharpen the edges and tips. Good luck and be patient.

No, every clay has different characteristics. Porcelain for example is extremely elastic. When throwing porcelain on the wheel you can make it really thin. The texture is similar to wet corn starch. School clay (the cheap gray colored clay) is not as elastic so you can't make it as thin. People like different clays depending on how they throw, so check out the local clay store.
Try the manufacture of your throwing wheel, (internet, phone, etc.) or check the size, or remove the splash pan, to compare against others that are similar in size an shape, or take it to a Tinsmith, they can make you a new one. (I know a fellow who made one out of an old tire)
