Shape delicate clay details with five ribbon-wire profiles in one set
Flat ribbon steel cuts through clay with surprising control, removing precise amounts of material where round wire tools would gouge or grab. These double-ended tools excel at trimming thrown pottery, shaping sculptural forms, and creating clean edges on both wet clay and leather-hard greenware. The ribbon profile, wider and thinner than standard wire, distributes pressure evenly for smooth, controlled cuts that won't dig in unexpectedly.
Each 9-inch tool features wooden handles with metal ferrules that maintain proper tension in the steel ribbons. Five different profile shapes handle everything from broad surface trimming to tight detail work. The flat steel configuration works particularly well on plaster too, where it removes material without the binding issues that plague round wire tools.
Jack Richeson designed this set for ceramic artists who need versatile cutting tools that stay responsive across wet clay, greenware, and plaster applications. Whether you're refining wheel-thrown forms, carving sculptural details, or cleaning up mold work, these ribbon tools provide the control that delicate trimming requires without the specialized cost of buying individual implements.
