Refine edges and carve a pattern in unfired clay with a tool suited to the detail. D1, D2 and D3 combine two metal working ends on a wooden handle. Scratch-n-Dust has a carving end and a brush for sweeping away loose debris. You receive one tool in your selected model.
Which model should you choose?
- D1, Tool D1: a small double-ended cleaning tool for refining unfired clay and carving decorative designs.
- D2, Tool D2: a larger cleaning tool for the same uses as D1. Choose it when the larger ends suit the area you are working on.
- D3, Tool D3: a cleaning and carving tool with a straight pointed tip for carving designs.
- D4S, Scratch-n-Dust: carves and removes small amounts of clay or colour; the brush sweeps loose debris from the surface.
What is included?
One double-ended tool with a wooden handle in the selected model. The four models are sold separately; this is not a four-piece set. Clay and other modelling materials are not included.
Practical technique
Support your piece and remove a little material at a time. Try your chosen tip on a scrap: the clay’s moisture and firmness affect how sharply a line is defined. Use small D1 for precise work, larger D2 for a broader reach and D3 for pointed carving details. Scratch-n-Dust lets you carve and then turn the tool to brush away debris.
Safe use and care
Keep your free hand out of the cutting direction and use light, controlled movements. Remove clay residue after use, wipe the metal ends with a slightly damp cloth when needed and dry the tool. Do not leave the wooden handle soaking in water; store the points protected.
