Top 8 Tools for Making Pottery

#8favpotterytools

If I was hard pressed to only have 8 pottery tools to use there are the ones I would pick. I have them segregated into two categories. Tools for throwing on the potter's wheel, and tools for carving. Sure I have a few other ones for example a bigger rib for making platters or a clothes pin for making lids...but these are my constant I use every day in the studio tools.

Throwing Tools

• Sponge and Wire Tool
• Mud Tool Rib, Y1
• Mud Tool Rib, G4
  

Carving Tools

• Dolan Knife, DPT 220C Flexible
• Dolan Trimming Tool, DPT 555
• Kemper Trimming Tool, R2 6" Ribbon Tool
• Sherrill Shredder, Replacement Blade Set​

All the tools above are clickable links to the tools for sale at ClayKing.com. I highly recommend buying supplies from them. They work really hard to have competitive prices, and have a lot of supplies available from one location.
