Pottery Sieves and Glaze Sieves
Hobbyists and professional potters consider ceramic sieves an essential tool. Used for refining clay slips, glazes and other materials to achieve a smooth, consistent finish, pottery sieves help to filter out impurities using a fine mesh. With a traditional wooden frame or a durable aluminium design, these products are built to support artists no matter their level and come in a variety of mesh grades to help remove unwanted materials from your work. Whether filtering grogged clay or perfecting a porcelain glaze, there's a mesh sieve suited to every task. Browse our range today and find the right equipment for your project.
Mesh Sieves for Pottery and Glazing
Sieving materials like slips, clay bodies, and grogged clay is fundamental to ceramics work. Slips are liquid clay used for casting, decoration or joining, while grogged clay contains grit to help improve strength. Sieving these materials to remove lumps, unwanted particles, and impurities ensures a smooth consistency for working. Our wide range consists of wooden sieves for a traditional feel that is perfect in classrooms and studios, and aluminium sieves that offer durability for frequent use in professional and personal settings. Using pottery sieves helps in the preparation of clean, consistent materials for better final results.
Aluminium Sieves
Looking for glazing sieves suitable for fine glazes or coarser materials like slips? Aluminium pottery sieves are ideal for processing small batches of material and come in a wide range of mesh sizes. We have 60 and 80 mesh options available, which are ideal for slips, while higher mesh numbers like 100 mesh and 120 mesh are perfect for porcelain glazes and other smooth glaze finishes.
We also stock and supply aluminium funnels, which aid in the transferring of sieved materials into containers and help to minimise waste.
Wooden Sieves
Suitable for larger batches, wooden pottery sieves come in both six-inch and 10-inch diameters and are available in several mesh sizes. 60 and 80 mesh options are used for glazes for earthenware and stoneware, while 100 mesh and 120 mesh options are perfect for fine slips and porcelain glazes.
Other Tool Options
You can also find a 100 Mesh Cup Lawn, featuring a cup-shaped frame and a three-inch diameter, making it perfect for small batches or test samples. Sometimes referred to as test sieves, they are ideal for precise control in testing staining, colourants or oxides or filtering out small impurities.
