Frequently asked questions

Are these suitable for beginners, or more for experienced potters?
Both — they're simple enough for beginners to pick up, but detailed enough that experienced potters get real use out of them too.

Will these work with air dry clay?
Yes, they're designed to work well with air dry clay as well as other clay types.

Do I need all four tools, or can I just use one or two?
You can use whichever tools suit what you're making — the set just gives you options for different techniques like cutting, trimming, and detailing.

How do I clean and look after them?
Give them a wipe down with a wet cloth after use so the clay doesn't dry on and become hard to remove — then make sure they're dry before storing to avoid rust on the metal parts.
