Types of Throwing Tools
Each potter's tool set should include a number of the tools available in our throwing range. Find stainless steel, silicone, and wooden throwing accessories, as well as much more.
Shaping and Smoothing
Tools like ribs, sponges, and modelling sticks help potters to define the form and texture of their work while throwing at the wheel. Our ribs come in a range of sizes and materials, including wood, metal, or rubber, and assist in refining curves, maintaining thickness, and smoothing out finer details.
Sponges and modelling sticks can be used to smooth surfaces, but also have other uses like defining rims and applying or removing water during the throwing process.
Finishing and Trimming
Trimming tools, otherwise known as turning tools, help to remove excess clay and give the project a clean, finished look. Turning tools tend to be designed to help create bases or trim bases of vessels.
Among these tools, you may also find wire cutters to help remove finished pieces from the wheel.
Detailing and Decorating
These tools are used predominantly in the final stages of throwing to add character or texture. They can include brushes, or tools for decorating like a comb tool or needle tools.
