Mudtools Shredders |
The Mudtools Shredder is an indispensable tool for shaping and carving leather hard clay. For years you could find a tool like this at the hardware store. This rasp was designed to be used on wood. Clay people, sculptors and auto-body repairmen discovered how well the blade worked on other materials (like clay and auto body filler). The problem was the handle design. The handle would trap clay and get clogged up. Michael designed a new open blade shape as well as a comfortable ergonomic grip. It functions well, doesn’t trap the waste clay in the tool and doesn’t frustrate the user. An added benefit is the tool mark, it leaves a handsome textured surface in the clay.
The Conical Shredder – indispensable for longer strokes, good for texturing and working on rounded surfaces. The Flat Shredder – provides a flat plane. |

Mudtools Sponges |
Natural sponges have been used by potters for years. However, the quality of natural sponges can be inconsistent. Because we aim to be conscious about the long term effects of the materials we use on our planet, Mudsponges are made of a biodegradable, environmentally friendly material that is incredibly durable.
Each Mudsponge is shipped compressed for economy of space - and for the fun of watching them expand when first dipped in water. |

Mudtools Bumps |
Have you ever made a hollow form and then tried to bump out the clay, only to find that you just can’t get your arm or your knuckle to the sweet spot? You need The Bump! The Bump is designed to extend the potter’s reach up to 18 inches when working in a hollow form: giving you the leverage you need to bump out the clay. The aluminum rod is stiff but can be altered to suit your individual need for throwing or sculpting clay. We can ship it to you straight and you customize it similar to the S curve. (See photos below.) The sponge end is a dense absorbable material with a hard center. |
