Wire & Nylon Clay Cutters by Richeson Co. – Mondaes Makerspace

This basic tool, whether wire or nylon, is necessary to cut through blocks of de-aired clay. Also used for removing your pots from the wheel after they're thrown, and for separating them again from the bat if they tend to stick during the drying process. 

• 18 wire or nylon string length
• Stainless steel wire cutter makes a slightly thinner cut through the clay but can be harder on the hands. Will not rust. Made of braided wire to maximize flexibility and avoid kinks. 
• Nylon string cutter is great for beginners or young students
