Clay Modeling Tools Explained

Clay Modeling Tools

For the most part, clay modeling tools are sold online without advice about the uses to which they should be put.

The free tutorials and lessons on this site work very well with the tools shown on the photo which are sold from this site a very reasonable price.

Tools for ceramic sculpture Everyone, no matter whatever stage they are at needs good quality, reasonably priced clay tools set. Each tool is carefully designed to help make specific skills more easy to accomplish. Use the various free tutorials on this site together with these tools and enhance your sculpting development, creativity and output.

The tools are my own design and I use them myself everyday. They are all double ended for economy, convenience and sustainability. They are made from sustainable hardwood and the best quality stainless steel for strength and quality and for your reassurance that they won't fail when you need them most.

Just before we begin the first tutorial where each clay tool is explained in detail (link below)...

.. to let you know that although sculpting tools sold online may all look the same, they are not. The tools are often not strong enough either in the wood shafts or the metal parts.

The ideal clay modeling tool must be balanced, strong, and the right size and dimensions for clay ceramic sculpture.

Above all, a sculpting tool should be used for its correct purpose. Don't confuse your sculpting tools with a potters tool or other item.

Be helped by my TOOL USER guide, which is the first online lesson.

Other visitors who now use my tools, had to find out the hard way that you need the right tool for the right purpose....

Have to say that I'm loving your tools. So far I have 3 of the 4 tools I can't live with out. Well, I mean can't sculpt without. The 4th one is a loop tool and it's very necessary except I have many loop tools (although yours is a thinner (desirable!) wire for it's loop size than other commercial ones I've bought). The other 3 tools are unique and so very handy. I'm finding new uses for them each time I sculpt. Thanks

Peter, I've received the tools! Thank you very much. I've also tried them out this long weekend with my paperclay. And it was amazing! In fact I enjoy sculpting so much I didn't get anything else done this weekend.

Thank you again for writing such a fantastic sculpting tutorials. I managed to get my figurines how I've wanted thanks to your lessons. I truly appreciate it.
