Perfect Pairings: Pottery Tool Duos to Double Your Creativity
Want to expand your pottery toolkit but not sure where to start? Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned pro, we recommend finding tools that complement each other to get the most out of each tool when you use them.
Our team of artists and design experts has handpicked dynamic tool duos that work seamlessly together to help you create your next masterpiece!
The Shaping Duo: Carving Tool + Trimming Tool
When it comes to sculpting, you can’t go wrong with a precision carving tool and one of our trimming tools.
The carving tool is ideal for adding intricate details, like patterns or textures, to your clay. Once you’re ready to clean up and refine the base, the trimming tool ensures crisp, smooth edges and balanced forms.
You can combine these tools to create detailed mugs or bowls with intricately carved patterns and perfectly trimmed foot rings.
Our recommendations:
T2 Arc Pottery Trimming Tool w/ Cone Shaped Stylus
The Smoothing Duo: Rib Tool + Sanding Pads
If you want a perfectly smooth finished product, there’s no better combination than our wood ribs and diamond sanding pads.
The wood rib allows you to seamlessly shape and support your pottery, creating graceful curves or sharp angles and smoothing out seams, indents, and fingerprints. When your piece is fired, the sanding discs come in handy to smooth out any rough spots before glazing.
Try this combo for creating an elegant vase or bowl for serving. Together, they’ll help you easily create a rounded shape and reduce any rough edges that may scratch your table or countertops.
Our recommendations:
6-Piece Flexible Diamond Sanding Pads Set with Rounded Corners
The Handbuilding Duo: Clay Wire Cutter + Scoring Tool
Cut and join pieces of clay seamlessly with this simple pairing.
Our clay wire tools are your go-to for slicing blocks of clay into manageable sizes or creating slabs. The scoring tool allows you to securely join those clay slabs together or add texture for extra flair.
These tools will help you create well-bonded seams and textured details when working on hand-sculpted ceramic projects.
Our recommendations:
The Trimming Duo: Sticky Pad + Trimming Spinner
When it comes to throwing your piece on your pottery wheel, our sticky pads and trimming spinners are the perfect tools.
The sticky pad with a bat holds your pieces securely on the wheel, allowing for quick setup and easy removal. Pair this with the pottery trimming spinner, which helps stabilize the piece and guides your hands smoothly while trimming, for ultimate precision.
Together, they make trimming fast, efficient, and frustration-free. You can shape bowls or mugs in record time.
Our recommendations:
12" or 14" Sticky Pad With Colored Plastic Bat
The Handle Duo: Extruders + Handle Forms
Say goodbye to mismatched, uneven handles! Our handheld clay extruders and handle forms are the ultimate pair for crafting flawless handles.
The extruder allows you to create consistent clay coils or strips — perfect for handles on mugs, pots, pitchers, and more. Draped over our handle forms, your extrusions quickly become matching and visually stunning handles.
This duo guarantees uniformity, making it ideal for creating matching sets while taking all the guesswork out of handle-making.

The Grinding Duo: Diamond Grinding Disc + Rotary Shaping Tool
When it comes to grinding and polishing, this powerhouse pair is unmatched.
The diamond grinding Disc is perfect for smoothing and leveling larger surfaces, such as the bottoms of pots or rough glaze drips. Pair it with a rotary shaping tool for precision work in smaller or hard-to-reach areas, such as sanding inside handles or smoothing intricate details.
Together, they deliver a flawless, professional finish to every piece you create.
