Product Description
Mudtools Small Shredder – Flexible Clay Shaping & Carving Tool for Pottery and Ceramics – Precision Rasp for Refining Leather-Hard Clay (Yellow)
- Precision Shaping for Smaller Areas – The Mudtools Small Shredder is designed for controlled material removal in tighter spaces. Ideal for refining curves, trimming edges, and adjusting proportions on leather-hard clay without disturbing the overall form.
- Efficient Clay Removal Without Tearing – Sharp stainless-steel shredding teeth remove clay cleanly and evenly. Reduces weight, defines contours, and prepares surfaces for final smoothing while maintaining structural integrity.
- Flexible Body for Smooth Contact – The polymer base flexes naturally to follow the curve of your work, allowing consistent pressure across bowls, vases, and sculptural forms.
- Built for Leather-Hard Work – Performs best on leather-hard clay, where precision removal matters most. A must-have for trimming, shaping transitions, and refining silhouettes before final finishing.
- Made in the USA by Mudtools – Designed by potter Michael Sherrill and trusted by ceramic artists worldwide. Durable, easy to clean, and built to withstand daily studio use.
The Small Shredder is an indispensable tool for shaping and carving leather hard clay. For years you could find a similar wood rasp at the hardware store. Ceramics artists and sculptors discovered how well the blade worked on other materials like clay. The problem was the handle design on these wood rasps would trap clay and get clogged up. Michael designed a new open blade shape as well as a comfortable ergonomic grip. It functions well, doesn't trap the waste clay in the tool and doesn't frustrate the user. An added benefit is the tool mark, it leaves a handsomely textured surface in the clay.
