Add dots, lines and small patterns to your clay work with a Royal & Langnickel stylus. Choose RD5 for pattern transfer, dots of colour and impressions, or the RD15 micro stylus for finer line work, tiny dots and detailed designs.
Choose your model
- RD5: stylus for transferring patterns, making dots of colour and impressions.
- RD15: micro stylus for fine line impressions, tiny dots and designs.
You receive one tool in the selected model. Both have a wooden handle with a metal tip at each end; the two models are separate choices, rather than a set.
Match the tip to your detail
Use RD5 for general dotting and pattern work, and choose RD15 for smaller details. Try both ends of your tool on a scrap: the tip, pressure and condition of the clay all affect the impression. For pattern transfer, follow the lines of your design with light pressure.
Making dots and lines
Support your piece and work while the clay still takes impressions. Place the tip gently and lift it straight out for individual dots. Draw short, light lines to build a design without pressing hard. Keep pressure and spacing consistent for a regular row of dots. Clean the tip as you work so clay residue does not blur the detail.
Care
Wipe the metal ends clean and dry after use. If needed, wipe the wooden handle with a slightly damp cloth and let it dry before storage. Avoid soaking the wood for long periods.
