Strip Tools and Ribbon Tools
Strip tools, sometimes referred to as ribbon tools, are useful tools in pottery and ceramics and are primarily used for trimming, shaping, and refining clay pieces. Featuring thin, flat, ribbon-like blades that provide sharp cutting edges, these strong tools are available in a variety of shapes to meet many design requirements. Our range of equipment hosts tools for every level of potter, from beginners to professionals, and should find a home in any artist's pottery supplies. Browse our individual tools and sets below.
Strip Tool Range
Our range of premium strip tools features various blade shapes with several types of handle material, such as beechwood, aluminium, or stainless steel for added durability and comfort. They are often used to trim and refine bases and sides of wheel-thrown pots during the final stages of the turning process, or for sculpting, shaping, and removing clay. In the hands of the right artist, they can also be used for creating intricate patterns on the surface of a project.
