{"product_id":"jack-richeson-pottery-tool-kit","title":"Pottery Tool Kit","description":"\u003cp\u003ePottery demands specific tools at specific moments, trimming excess clay, smoothing curves, scoring joints, cutting wire-clean bases. This eight-piece kit assembles the essentials beginners actually need without overwhelming newcomers with specialized implements they won't touch for months. Jack Richeson includes wire clay cutter for slicing blocks and removing wheel-thrown pieces, natural sponge for controlling moisture and smoothing surfaces, potter's rib for shaping and compressing forms. Steel scraper handles cleanup and precise edge work, while loop and ribbon tools carve and refine. The needle tool scores clay for secure joins and pops air bubbles; wooden modeling tool manages detail work and surface textures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach implement addresses fundamental techniques, centering, throwing, trimming, hand-building, giving new potters hands-on experience with proper tools rather than improvising with kitchen utensils. The reusable pack keeps everything organized between studio sessions and protects tools during transport. You'll develop proper technique from the start, learning how each tool responds to leather-hard versus wet clay, building muscle memory with instruments designed for ceramic work rather than adapted from other purposes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jack Richeson","offers":[{"title":"8 pieces","offer_id":47973700567269,"sku":"88203","price":19.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0726\/6890\/5701\/files\/s88203.jpg?v=1761724393","url":"https:\/\/www.texasart.mom\/products\/jack-richeson-pottery-tool-kit","provider":"Texas Art Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
