  1. 1Stainless steel wire (won't rust from wet clay)
  2. 2Wooden or textured handles for grip
  3. 3Wire length 10–12 inches (enough to cut across a bowl base)
  4. 4Replaceable wire or crimps you can re-tension

Skip

  • Wire thin enough to slice skin easily (look for 0.5mm or thicker)

Used for: trimming bowl rims level · cutting clay slabs from blocks · slicing bases off pottery bats
