The clay tools and reference material offered in the 2009 Workshop Handbook: Pottery Tools and Studio Resources are meant to be accessible enough to be applicable to all kinds of ceramic work, regardless of your current skill level or experience. They are refined enough to be useful for advanced pottery projects, and easy enough to make so that you could use them in a beginning ceramics class.
If you’ve ever made your own pottery tool, you know how it can individualize your pottery. A clay tool made with your own hands makes a mark like no other tool. Some of these pottery tools require no other tools beyond those you already have for making pottery. A clay stamp for your name is a tool that is about as individual as it gets.
One of the best things about making your own clay tool, or simply buying a new tool for a pottery project, is that it can help you find a new way of looking at a familiar process. These pottery tools will kick start your efforts in the studio. We hope that you’ll find some inspiration in these pages that opens your eyes, your mind and your hands to something new and exciting.
