About Potterycrafts Rubber Kidney (medium)
The Potterycrafts Rubber Kidney (medium) is a versatile tool commonly used by ceramic artists for smoothing, shaping, and finishing clay surfaces. Made from durable, flexible rubber, this kidney-shaped tool is ideal for refining the contours of a clay piece, whether on the wheel or during hand-building. Its medium size offers a balance between control and coverage, allowing artists to smooth large areas while still being precise enough for finer details.
This rubber kidney is particularly valued for its ability to create even, smooth surfaces without gouging or leaving marks on the clay. It’s also helpful in compressing the clay, which can strengthen the final piece and prevent cracks during drying and firing. The ergonomic shape fits comfortably in the hand, making it easy to maneuver over curved or flat surfaces, making it an essential tool in any potter's toolkit for achieving a professional finish.
