Pottery & Clay Large Ribbon Sculpting Tool Kit (Set of 11)

they seem to hold up... haven't tried to really put a sharp edge on yet

It works okay for leatherhard pottery and working off items on the wheel. It is sufficient what I bought it for and it was super cheap.

Used to shave pumpkins. They didn't flex or move around at all, they held up good to a hard material they weren't made for. How many pumpkins could you shove these into before taking damage, only time will tell. Probably good for Clay idk.

They are great for sculpture with clay with one issue, I wish there was at least one with alonger handler. Sometimes I have to cut in more pieces my figure to be able to empty the inside with the short handler.

I’ve been taking ceramics classes for a full year now and I’ve used a lot of tools. These hold up just like the rest. The handles are solid wood and the metal parts are beveled so you can achieve a great edge to your work. I have used my tools for trimming and forming the foot on my vessels. These tools are of a good quality and stand up to repeated use without feeling as though the metal part will become wobbly and fall off, even repeatedly being muddy and then washed. If you work in a shared studio like I do, I recommend marking each of your tools with a bit of brightly colored nail polish. This way you can keep track of these useful and sturdy tools!

The variety of shapes really helped my carve different angles and shapes as needed. Some of the heads were a tiny loose on the handles, but I imagine if they ever fall off they will be easy enough to reattach with glue, so no biggie.If you are also using these to carve your first 3D pumpkin like me, keep in mind the skin is tough to scrape off due to these tools not being super sharp (in fairness, they ARE meant for clay) , but after that it becomes a lot easier.

Great value. Everything I've bought from this company has been terrific.

Great at trimming thrown pottery
