Bulls Tongue, Dragtools, Paddles & Other Mudtools
Our selection of 'other' Mudtools products includes a range of handbuilding and shaping tools. From the wide surface control of the big paddle to the subtle detailing power of the trim tool, these products are designed to inspire and evolve your pottery approach. Whether you're throwing, sculpting, or refining a project, each tool in the range has a place in the ceramic process. Products like the bulls tongue - a new twist on a traditional Japanese gyubera reimagined for the modern day - aren't just here to assist the user, they're here to inspire the use of new techniques and styles.
Unique Mudtools for Pottery
Each tool by Mudtools has been developed to serve a specific purpose in a potter's studio. The Mudtools bulls tongue, for example, can be used as a hybrid rib and shaping tool, with a long tapering profile and smooth edges. It mimics the function of a traditional Gybera but in a durable material that can be used over and over again. This tool excels at helping to refine internal curves, smooth hard-to-reach areas in vessels, and shaping subtle transitions at the wheel. The bulls tongue truly does change the way you throw, no matter how you use it.
The big paddle is great for helping to alter a project that has been wheel thrown and the flat surface of the tool allows potters to shape, compress, and refine clay. It can also be used within handbuilt pieces, doubling up as a compressing agent - reducing air pockets, and improving the consistency of clay before it is fired in the kiln. The small paddle has a similar use as a piece of pottery equipment, just for smaller, more delicate projects. Like everything in the range, it is resistant to wear and made with high-quality materials.
The dragtool range is designed for modifying surfaces and can be used to carve through slip or clay surfaces to add texture or functional lines. The do all trimtool offers fine control at the leather-hard stage, and like other Mudtools products, is designed to streamline the production process.
Each of these accessories can be a key cog in your pottery tools.
