MUD-MHP Mudtools Wire Tools "Curly Short Pink Mudwire"

Features & Highlights

• Create Unique Patterns: The coiled wire leaves beautiful wavy patterns on the clay, unlike regular cutting wires that result in smooth, uniform cuts.

• Enhance Glazes and Firings: The spiral patterns look especially beautiful when wood-fired, salt-fired, or when using flowing glazes that break over edges and corners, such as Celadon or Temmoku glazes.

• Ergonomic Handle Design: Made from durable polymer for a comfortable grip. No more wrapping wire around your fingers causing pain or injury.

• Adjustable Coil Tightness: The stainless steel wire is densely coiled. You can stretch it out to achieve your desired level of tightness for the spiral pattern (can stretch up to approximately 15 inches).

How to Use

1. Adjust Wire Coil: When first unboxing, gently pull and stretch the stainless steel wire to achieve your desired length and coil tightness.

2. Cut and Divide Clay: Hold both handles to keep the wire taut, then pull it through the clay to divide it or to cut a piece from the wheel. Spiral patterns will immediately appear on the clay surface.

3. Faceting: Drag the wire across the surface of the piece to remove clay and create facets. This creates a textured surface with beautiful and warm alternating dimensions and spiral patterns on the piece.
