Description

This Ceramic Tool Set of 11-pieces ceramic used to shape, carve, trim, and detail malleable materials. Great for working with pottery, earthenware, and polymer clay. With a mix of wood, wire, and metal ends, these double-sided tools help refine raw clay into finished sculptural or functional pieces. Consider also modelling tools for clay, potters needles and potter’s knives.

The Ceramic Tool Set of 11 Pieces provides the versatility needed to complete the following tasks:

• Carving & Sgraffito: Use the sharp wire loop and ribbon tools to shave off layers of clay.  Hollow out forms, or trace designs (sgraffito) through a layer of coloured slip.
• Trimming & Cutting: Use metal trimming tools and wooden knives to shave away excess weight from the bases of wheel-thrown pots or to cut straight edges in slabs.
• Scoring & Joining: Use the wire texturing brush (often included) to scratch cross-hatch patterns into leather-hard clay. Do this before applying slip and joining pieces together (like attaching a mug handle).
• Detailing & Piercing: Utilize needle points to poke delicate holes. Those needed for jewellery or salt and pepper shakers. Also use ball styluses to create textured indentations or smooth out hard-to-reach corners.
• Smoothing & Shaping: Flat and curved wooden modelling tools act as extensions of your fingers. This set perfect for blending clay seams, smoothing surfaces, and refining sharp edges.
