Two Cutting Profiles in One Tool

A ribbon tool cuts clay with a thin wire loop rather than a blade, so it shears cleanly instead of dragging which is why it is the standard tool for hollowing, trimming and carving at the leather-hard stage. This one carries a loop at each end, so you get two shapes in a single tool and fewer swaps part-way through a piece.

Why You’ll Love It

• Wire ribbon loops shear clay cleanly rather than dragging or tearing it
• A loop at each end gives two cutting profiles in one tool
• Suited to hollowing, trimming, carving and refining leather-hard clay
