When you're hand-building there are lots of creative ways to shape and mold your clay. You can find tools in your kitchen or garage to create textures or use your palms and fingers to get the exact shape you want. Yet, we would like to argue that our wood paddle is comparable to none. This simple yet unique tool provides the perfect amount of weight and surface area to assist in creating subtle or exaggerated forms.

Here are just a few reasons we are highlighting our Paddle this month:

1. Like all our tools, we designed this Paddle to be easy and comfortable to hold. In the case of the Paddle, that means that you can swing it with ease and whack or tap your clay without worrying that it will slip from your grasp.

2. Made from hardwood, the weight is just right to make a large impact on your clay or create small controlled changes to the surface of your piece.

3. Go big! This paddle comes in handy for large-scale work, whether that’s a giant hand-built planter or a larger- than- life sculpture.
