Potter’s Clay Gauge is a Potter’s Caliper and depth measurement tool in one. It is ideal for measuring inner, outer, and depth measurements for both thrown and hand-built clay works with precision. It provides dimension in inches and centimeters
Patterned from the Japanese egote, this tool aids shaping and compressing deep, narrow necked wheel thrown pieces. Made in two sizes of fine hardwood that is polished to a satin finish, these "comfortably fitting" throwing sticks are 12-1/2" in length. TS1 = larger throwing stick. TS2 = smaller throwing stick
Take the guesswork out of sizing lids for your pots. One tool is all you need. Simply insert the narrow end of Lid Master into the pot, and the wide end automatically becomes a sizing guide. Use it to create lids that actually fit quickly and efficiently every time! The Large Lid Master size has an 20" capacity. Reassemble the wing nut and screw into the 12½% hole. Now you can throw a new lid for an already-fired pot without guessing the size. A typical clay shrinks about 12½% from wet to the fired state. Measure fired pot with the inside end of the Lid Master. Tighten the wing nut to lock in the measurement. Now throw a new lid using the outside end for your measurement. It will shrink to fit once it's dried and fired. Bracker's Suggestion: Don't throw away the packaging card that comes with the Giffin Lid Master. Not only help it help you remember how to use the Lid Master, it will also remind you how the washers go back onto the Lid Master when you switch between the standard 1:1 hole to the 12½% shrinkage hole.

Have you ever made a hollow form and then tried to bump out the clay, only to find that you just can’t get your arm or your knuckle to the sweet spot? You need The Bump! The Bump is designed to extend the potter’s reach up to 18 inches when working in a hollow form: giving you the leverage you need to bump out the clay. The aluminum rod is stiff but can be altered to suit your individual need for throwing or sculpting clay. We can ship it to you straight and you customize it, or with a preset S curve. (See photos.) The sponge end is a dense absorbable material with a hard center.
