Hey Mel, what wheel should I buy? 99% of you would be best suited for a Shimpo Whisper Lite. I always buy from Clay King or Krueger.

I love these for the price. Yes they can warp. Avoid using the heat gun and hot, hot water and they are fine!!

Blick Art Supply (formerly known as Dick Blick) is the best priced, quickest, and ALWAYS In stock

Go through Rakuten and get cash back every time

We have found that usually this is the fastest and cheapest way to get our Mayco Fundamental Underglazes

I love this guy. The plastic trimming part, if used with care, will not dull, and the pin tool is right there too!

Although I like a rounder Large loop tool, I like the grip of these tools. They wash well (cause they are plastic,) and I love the wire to cut pots off bats (NOT TO CUT CLAY). The thin wire takes off less clay!

This includes 4 more tools, including the Sponge on a stick

For super skinny or big pots, these sticks help extend your arm to “get down there.” I like the Kemper ones cause we have had them for years! They never splint or break!

I love this one. I call it the Claw. Its like Wolverine.. therefore super sharp, so when you buy it… be warned! It’s super sharp, but handy!

Helvetica..simple..but what’s great is how these lock together to get straight, evenly spaced words. You won’t lose them ‘cause they store attached to each other

I’m not a fan of sand paper, so we rasp things off at greenware. This Sureform by Mudtools is great and doesn’t hurt your hand

I do A LOT of carving.. the cheaper tools make my fingers turn back (yes Im aggressive.. This cushiony handle makes it much easier

I’ve literally had some of Dolan trimming tools for over 20 years! I use all shapes. Even the non- loop ones are good (and I’m usually not a fan!)

For those that want a quirky bottom and avoid trimming!

I lose it all the time! Thank goodness I found it for this list!

So I don’t use this but my members LOVE it.. So why fight it? If you want one for your home studio, go for it!

If you go to a Ceramic Supply site these will be $30! They are the SAME as these!

Stop your bat from slipping and sliding! Our members LOVE this one. Washable! Make sure you write your name on it! Members tend to leave them everywhere

Catch your pot before it flies off the wheel. I always tell my students to secure the top with your hand while trimming. This prevents the chafing! LOL

We all love a good texture tool. And until you start making your own, these are great. MKM is a great company with quality tools

Economy Sanding Blocks. Not Diamond Core but they are still pretty great! For green, bisque and stoneware- Wear a Mask!

Love the cracked Pots technique. Here is a starter jar for you! If you love it, buy the Gallon from Ceramic Supply!

Not necessarily cushioned LOL. but a perfect height and easy to clean

This one is my favorite, but it’s the heavier one!

This one is much lighter and has pockets

Doing a custom job? Need a logo for a pot? I use this stampmaker.com for all of my DMB pots!

You HAVE to have these. Comfy, easy to wash, and adorable
