C-50#66A Serrated Clay Wire Cutter

C-50#66A The wavy clay cutting wire is a tool for cutting raw clay lumps, specifically designed to create textured surfaces on the cut edges.

Applications

• Creating wavy patterns on cut surfaces: : This tool is used by pulling the taut wire through a raw clay lump or slab. The resulting cut will not be flat like those made with regular wire, but will immediately form beautiful wavy lines or serrations, ideal for projects where the natural texture of the cut clay is desired to be showcased.
• Cutting clay lumps and checking for air bubbles: : Used to cut large blocks of clay into smaller pieces for sculpting, or to cut clay lumps in half during the wedging process to check for remaining air pockets inside the clay.
• Making scores to increase adhesion: The wavy indentations from cutting create a rough surface that increases the surface area for applying slip when joining two pieces of raw clay, resulting in a stronger bond.

Features

• Wavy coiled spring wire: The wire is made of stainless steel, uniformly coiled into waves along its entire length. It is highly flexible and springy, not easily breaking when pulled through dense clay.
• Dual cylindrical wooden handles: Both ends of the wire are attached to compact wooden handles. Designed for a comfortable grip, they allow the potter to press with their thumbs and use the weight of both hands to pull the wire through the clay stably and effortlessly.
