Pottery Tools for Throwing, Handbuilding & Glazing

Browse pottery tools for wheel throwing, handbuilding, modelling, carving, measuring and glazing. This department is the broad starting point for choosing tools for different stages of pottery making, from shaping and refining clay to adding detail and preparing finished work for glazing.

Different tools suit different jobs. Ribs and trimming tools help with shaping and refining forms, while loop, ribbon and modelling tools are useful for carving and detailed clay work. Calipers and measuring tools help when dimensions and fit matter, while sponges and glaze applicators support finishing and glazing tasks.

Choosing the Right Pottery Tools

Start with the task you want the tool to perform. Wheel work, handbuilding, modelling, measuring and glazing each call for different tool types, so choosing by stage of making can make it easier to narrow down the most useful options.

For a more focused selection, browse our Clay Tools department. If you need materials or wider studio supplies alongside your tools, the related departments below provide a useful next step.
