The Flat Shredder provides a long flat plane. Mudtools Shredders are indispensable tools for shaping and carving leather-hard clay.

The Conical Shredder is indispensable for making longer strokes, and is good for texturing and working on rounded surfaces. Like the Small Shredder, it is also an indispensable tool for shaping and carving leather-hard clay.

The Small Shredder is an indispensable tool for shaping and carving leather-hard clay.

More than just a cut-off tool! As you pull it through the clay, the coiled wire leaves a unique pattern. Use it for faceting to achieve a surface that looks great on wood-fired or salt-fired pots and under glazes that break (like a celadon or temmoku).

Our Standard Green Mudwire is ergonomically designed to be a pleasure to use. The handle is made with a durable polymer and is shaped to give you a comfortable grip without having to wrap the wire around your fingers.

A Japanese-inspired, reimagined trim tool that-as the name implies, we truly think "does it all". No more switching between dozens of different trimming tools! It includes both a broad surface for smoothing and a tight shape for detail trimming.

When Mudtools founder, Michael, visited potters in Japan, he observed that it was common for them to pull, rather than push, their carving tools through the clay. This dragging motion allowed for less friction and a fluid cut.
