Love at the
first use
There are pottery tools you use… and then there are pottery tools you quietly fall in love with. The ones you reach for without thinking, the ones that make the surfaces smoother, patterns cleaner, and finishing less of a chore. Here’s a curated list of pottery tools that earn their place in your pottery studio — not because they’re flashy, but because they make your process of working in clay a pure pleasure.
The perfect
curve
Regardless of whether you are throwing your ceramic pieces on the wheel or shaping them from coils or slab, Mudtools Polymer Ribs will be your best companion. They are available in a wide range of shapes, flexibilities, and sizes allowing you to refine forms without tearing or overworking the clay.
Smooth the clay
Use the ribs from ultra soft (pink), very soft (red) to soft (yellow), to smooth clay with just a few moves, without leaving marks.
Define the curve
Use the soft (yellow) or firm (green) Mudtools ribs to create repeatable curves and shapes in clay both during wheel-throwing and shaping from slab.
Clean-up easily
Nothing cleans excessive clay better than the extra firm (blue) Mudtools rib.
the pattern
of love
If you love texture but hate inconsistency, MKM Pottery Tools will help you create clean, repeatable patterns with minimal effort — perfect for functional ware, tiles, or series work.
What truly sets MKM rollers apart is how thoughtfully they’re engineered for clay. The carved lines and debossed patterns feature subtle bevels that gently compress the clay as you roll, strengthening the surface and helping prevent cracking at the edges. Unlike laser-cut tools with sharp vertical walls, MKM rollers release cleanly from the clay without pulling or lifting the design.
The art of the
shape
Pottery forms made out of durable MDF are the unsung heroes of efficient making. Whether you’re slab-building, pressing, or shaping, forms help you achieve consistent sizes and silhouettes — especially useful when creating sets or small collections.
They’re perfect for:
- Repeatable plates, platters and bowls
- Maintaining even proportions
- Speeding up production without sacrificing quality
THE LOVING
Touch
DiamondCore Tools Sanding Pads will give the final, loving touch to your fired ceramic works. They are designed to smooth fired clay and remove any sharp edges with almost no effort.
Remove excess glaze drips
Use the coarse (60) and medium (120) DiamondCore Sanding Pads for smoothing glaze drips or runs when a glaze flowed a little too far during firing.
Smooth the rough edges
Use the medium fine (200) to extra fine (1500) DiamondCore Sanding Pads for softening rough bottoms and refining foot rings, so holding your piece of work is a real pleasure for the hands.
Great pottery tools don’t replace skill — they support it. They reduce friction in the process, let you focus on form and surface, and help you focus in the studio on what you really love!
