Pottery Sponge for Clay, Clay Sponge Cleanup and Shaping Tool for Pottery and Clay Artists

Essential tools for the potter! I just started taking pottery classes and these sponges are excellent!

TL:DR - Thinner alternative to Mudsponge. Nice density.After my first white Mudsponge ran its course, I purchased two new ones direct from company. Idk what they did or if it was the batch I got, but they were WAY thicker than my first one (which I loved). So much so, that I tried to cut it in half lengthwise to continue using. The density of the new sponges was also WAY more dense that before. I prefer a thinner finishing sponge.Figured I'd try these out and really enjoyed them. White texture is VERY smooth. Orange and blue are smoother than Mudtools' versions, which I also prefer for using on finishing smoothing out textured Greenware.All in all, if you like working with thinner sponges, these may be just right for you.

I like pulling with these because I can feel the clay better. Can get more easily into tight spaces. Also very smooth. Cons - doesn’t hold as much water or absorb as well as a regular yellow sponge.

Best ceramic sponges I've ever used, personally and in the classroom. I love the denseness of the foam in these sponges, and really feel I wasted money trying to find cheaper alternatives just to save a few cents. I use these sponges all the time when throwing and they are very helpful in my work. It also allows for more control, no matter what type of pressure I use. These sponges are great and should last a long time because of the amazing quality.

Week 7 into my pottery class, and I just couldn’t seem to improve. Tried these sponges, the orange in my right palm, the blue folded in my left fingers, and Voila!—a huge improvement in the size and shape of my thrown pots. They seem to equalize the pressure for me, allowing more even pulling. The white sponge is excellent for finish smoothing. Love these!

I used for the first time today and the orange sponge is already ripped. Low grog clay.

came on time, high quality, I use it all the time, highly recommended

I pull with a sponge, and these are perfect to feel the pot as well as cleaning the sides. Great quality too! Thank you!The second pic is a cup I pulled with the Mud Sponges, and I’ve been throwing for a little over one month, and the difference before and after using the sponges is remarkable. Must-have item!
