{"product_id":"kemper-stylus-tools","title":"Stylus Tools","description":"\u003cp\u003eControlled mark-making separates deliberate surface work from guesswork. Kemper's stylus tools deliver that control through stainless steel ball ends treated for hardness and mounted in smooth hardwood handles. The steel resists deformation when you're pressing embossed patterns into leather or metal leaf, maintaining consistent pressure across repeated impressions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth ball sizes serve distinct purposes in surface manipulation. Use the smaller end for fine sgraffito lines through slip or underglaze, revealing crisp contrasts in ceramic work. The larger ball excels at broader embossing strokes in decorative painting and creating flowing patterns in soft clay. Hardwood handles provide natural grip without the hand fatigue that comes from metal-to-metal tools during extended decorating sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTole painters appreciate how the steel glides across painted surfaces without catching or dragging, creating smooth indented lines that define traditional folk art patterns. The treated steel maintains its shape through thousands of strokes, whether you're working through layered underglazes on pottery or establishing guidelines in wet paint. Clean tools between uses to prevent color transfer; the smooth surfaces wipe clean easily without trapping pigment in seams or joints.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kemper","offers":[{"title":"single ball \/ .030 in. \/ BSS","offer_id":47978814570725,"sku":"12879","price":4.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"double ball \/ .030 in., .045 in. \/ DBSS","offer_id":47978814603493,"sku":"37618","price":4.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"single ball \/ .114 in. \/ BSL","offer_id":47978814636261,"sku":"83692","price":4.01,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.texasart.mom\/products\/kemper-stylus-tools","provider":"Texas Art Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
