Clay Modeling Tools


Clay modeling tools are most commonly used for texturing, shaping, and modeling pottery clay and air-dry clay, but they can also be used with plaster, tooling foil, and even leather. Modeling tools are made from either wood or plastic, which makes them strong and durable for use in studios and classroom settings.


Use wood paddles for shaping, hammering, and forming clay, and handmade boxwood clay tools for fine shaping and finishing work, both on and off of the pottery wheel. The Richeson modeling tools in sets include dozens of tools in an assortment of shapes. Other sets that include wire tools, boxwood tools, and more are also ideal for intricate work, smoothing edges, trimming, and adding details to clay and other materials.
