Small Paddle – Mudtools

This is a favorite general-use paddle-shaped tool. We make ours out of reclaimed local hardwood. The beautiful hardwood (sourced from dead and dying trees) makes a paddle that will give you a lifetime of use. This little guy works hard, whether you are using it to join a seam, putting a pleat in a tea bowl or deforming

Small Shredder – Mudtools

When Michael visited potters in Japan he observed that it was common for them to pull, rather than push, their carving tools through the clay. This dragging motion allowed for less friction and a fluid cut. For years Michael made a variety of Japanese-style carving tools for his own use and he’s spent A LOT of time carving on clay to test them out. Made of high carbon steel and tempered to be very hard, the Dragtool is designed to grace the hand and make a fluted mark in the clay.
