There’s A Smarter Cleanup Option for Your Pottery Studio

Tired of clogged sinks and messy clay cleanup? We’re thrilled to announce the latest in pottery tool and studio cleaning — the Cink 2, Mini Cink, and Mini Cink Lite. Artists have been raving about our original Cink Mobile Clay Water Recycling System for years. Now, we’re kicking things up a notch. We’ve taken everything artists love about the Cink giving you three additional options that are more robust and tailored to your specific needs.



Introducing the Cink 2

Say goodbye to costly plumbing repairs and hello to a smarter way to manage your studio waste! The CINK 2 by DiamondCore Tools is a game-changer for potters and ceramic artists that don’t have access to a water source or don’t want to clog up their sink.

This stand-alone mobile clay water recycling system collects the clay water in buckets, allowing you to reuse or dispose of it — preventing clogs and plumbing damage. With new upgrades like foot pedal activation, a flexible nozzle, to easy-to-roll buckets, it’s never been easier to manage clay water waste and keep your pottery tools and studio clean.

Effortless Cleanup, Maximum Protection

No water source needed — making it a flexible solution for studios, classrooms, and homes

Prevents clay-clogged pipes in your studio, classroom, or home

Conserves water when cleaning pottery tools, sponges, and more

Minimizes wasted clay

Portable and easy-to-use in a variety of spaces

Cink 2 Features Artists Love

  • Foot pedal activates the pump to allow for easy, hands-free cleanup
  • Heavy-duty metal hardware components
  • Water buckets are on dollies for easy mobility and maintenance 
  • Metal flexible hose designed to stand up to frequent use and adjustments
  • Improved, more powerful pump
  • Enclosed cabinets boost aesthetics and hide the internal components
  • Runs off of a 110V GFCI outlet


Introducing the Mini Cink & Mini Cink Lite

If you’re looking for a smaller and cost-effective way to manage studio waste, you’ll love our Mini Cink. At just 49.5 inches tall, the modular, small scale, and customizable design provides flexibility in smaller studio, classroom, or home spaces while still preventing clogs and water waste.  

This affordable, single-user solution is designed to be placed next to your pottery wheel for easy cleanup, saving you time walking your ceramic tools and splash pans back and forth. The smaller unit is easy to wheel away and store when not in use, helping you maximize space and efficiency.

The Mini Cink comes with all parts, like an extra reusable string filter, bag filter, and accessory set. The Mini Cink Lite is a stripped down ‘lite’ version, which only includes the pump and basin assembly for extra flexibility and affordability.
