Dipping Tongs

Pottery Dipping Tongs and Tools

Dipping tongs are useful in pottery glazing across both home and studio applications, offering a clean and efficient way to dip glaze - often speeding up the process. Functioning like a clamp, glaze tongs can help to prevent pieces from slipping into the glaze bucket. If the creation is larger, you can use a spare hand or a secondary pottery tool to help with the dip.

We are able to offer two types of dipping equipment:

Tongs for Dipping

Looking for a clean way to glaze ceramics? Tongs act like pliers, featuring four sharp gripping points that make minimal contact with the product. This tool is ideal for handling clay across a range of shapes and sizes, but may require a helping hand if you're working with a larger piece of clay.

Glaze Dipping Aids

Clay glazing can be challenging for potters, and fingerprints often cause frustration. The skin's oils can also impact glaze adhesion. Glaze dipping aids like the 'fingerdips' are the ideal solution to that problem. Simply place the fingerdips over your fingers when dipping and they will provide grip and act as a barrier so your skin’s oils don’t interfere with the glaze.
