23PCS Clay Tools Sculpting, Ceramic & Pottery Modeling Tool, Ceramics Tools Set, Polymer Tools Kit, Air Dry Clay Tools for Carving, Molding, Pottery Wheel, Crafting Supplies, Pros, Beginners, Adults

This kit got me started affordably in my foray into art and practical ceramics. To be clear, this is primarily for throwing clay. Though some of these tools will be useful for hand-builders, they are mostly for use at the pottery wheel. I have added to my kit and replaced some items, but months of use later and I believe every tool I received is still in good shape and working. They are not the highest quality tools, which is not a criticism. Know that generally you will pay as much for a single high-quality tool as this entire kit costs. But they will definitely fill the bill if you are a potter on a budget or a beginner testing the waters.

It is with great reluctance that I utter the existence of this kit—let alone commend the fine craftsmanship of its utensils. The sculpting this kit dutifully aids is a noble art demanding great strength, patience, and intellect. This ambition exists far beyond the delicate constitution of the fairer lady, whose hands are fashioned—by the Almighty no less!—for embroidery, not grizzly acts such as chiseling of stone or molding of clay. Every tool within this kit is of superior workmanship; their heft and sturdiness are well suited for men of industry and vision. A woman attempting to wield these implements would soon find herself overburdened, her fragile limbs trembling beneath arduous strain, brow stained with the sweat of indignation. Indeed, well displayed within our last electoral contest, that a woman’s mind was not fashioned for the exertions of the high table, let alone the exertions of artistic genius, but rather for the sweet and simple duties of home and hearth. The very thought of undertaking the molding of clay rather than baking bread is enough for me to snort! Should a misguided lady find this kit in her possession, I would urge her husband to force her to reconsider. I do recall, with no small measure of dismay, the day when I discovered my betrothed had been indulging in a dalliance with the clay. Though it first came afoot during our initial meet the day of our arranged union, nonetheless proved most unsettling, even though it filled her pockets greatly. Before night’s fall, I ensured that such a covert pursuit would be ended promptly. My reasoning, sturdy as my fortitude, is that exposure to artistic study may divert vital energy from her reproductive organs, leading to a decline in feminine charms. A sculpting kit in the clutches of a woman is as absurd as a voting ballot in her tiny grasp—both invite chaos and undermine the sanctity of civility and our civilization. Gentlemen, to you I would recommend this kit wholeheartedly— and to you alone. Allow your wives and daughters to admire your kit and masterful work from afar. Their eyes will alight with admiration as they recognize, once again, the vast chasm between the masculine mind, built for creation, and the feminine soul, built for devotion. Final Verdict: 5 out of 5 stars—for only men. (Parody)

this set is excellent for beginner students of ceramics!! it has everything i needed for my first semester of ceramics at college. i was able to use some of the tools for sculpture class, too! each item in this set is functional and cutting tools were sharp and helpful. everything fit perfectly into the provided zippered case!!

My daughter abso loves her clay work and these tools are so great. She loves them.

This was a gift for a girlfriend and she loves it!

A few of the tools in this kit were a fair quality, but most of them were trash. I’m giving this product four stars because, at this price, the set is still a good value for those decent 4 or 5 pieces.

Received very quickly, and the tools all seem to be great. The wooden tools are stained as shown in the images, this will be help my daughter keep track of which tools are hers in the classroom. They look pretty and are easily distinguished from unstained/blonde wood tools. There is a great variety of pieces and the zipper pouch is nice to have. I don't know that it will be easy to fit the tools back in the pouch once they have been used, but it is a nice place to keep the tools she hasn't used yet, or those that she uses less often.

My daughter uses these for putting detail into her soap carvings. They clean up nicely and have held up to several long sessions over the past 5 months. She got more tools in this kit than she actually uses but they were a good value for the price.
