Pottery Tool Kit


The tools in the Pottery Tool Kit are essential for potters, whether beginner or more advanced. The tools allow you to shape and mold clay, to add detail and texture to clay and any other soft surface, including plasticene, playdough or even papier mache.

The eight basic tools of the Pottery Tool Kit include:

  • Loop tool
  • Ribbon tool
  • Potter’s rib
  • Needle tool
  • Wood modeling tool
  • Sponge scraper
  • Wire clay cutter

The loop tool is essential to trim and refine the shape of your clay sculpture. The ribbon tool has a sharp edge that allows the clay to be cut, shaped and sliced. The needle tool is used to make holes and designs. The differently shaped ends of the basic tools make exciting designs and marks on your pieces of clay art and allow you to create beautiful pieces of pottery.
