C-09 Double-Headed Flat-Wire Wooden Scraper Set is a large tool for trimming, shaping, and hollowing out clay in ceramics and sculpture.
Primary Uses
-
Heavy-Duty Trimming: With its wide and sharp flat-wire heads, it is ideal for quickly scraping large amounts of excess clay from the bottoms of bowls, plates, vases, or pots on a potter's wheel to create foot rings rapidly and evenly.
-
Hollowing Out: Used for hollowing out the interior of medium to large solid sculptures to make them lighter and ensure uniform wall thickness. This helps the piece dry faster, reduces weight, and prevents cracking or damage during firing.
-
Shaping & Leveling: Used to smooth surfaces, remove bumps, rough spots, or mold seams to refine the external form of a sculpture, achieving desired proportions and curves.
