Press slip-soaked lace onto clay forms with precision control
Curved steel blades navigate the compound curves of ceramic forms where flat tools falter. This Kemper lace draping tool presses slip-soaked fabric into recesses and around contours, maintaining even contact that prevents air pockets and ensures proper adhesion. The pointed tip reaches into tight corners and detail areas that broader tools can't access cleanly.
Beyond lace application, these blades excel at sgraffito cleanup, lifting away excess slip or underglaze from carved lines without disturbing adjacent surfaces. The curved profile matches the natural contours of thrown and sculpted forms, letting you work efficiently across rounded surfaces. Ceramicists working in encaustic also use these tools for wax manipulation, where the smooth steel moves heated medium without dragging or gouging.
The tool handles detailed surface work on greenware where control matters: refining carved details, removing slip from specific areas, or ensuring decorative fabric elements bond properly to three-dimensional forms. Simple steel construction cleans easily and maintains its edge through repeated use.
