Stainless Steel Serrated Scraper for Ceramics
This stainless steel scraper allows you to smooth, level, or texture the clay surface in a single motion. Its various serrated sides produce several effects depending on the pressure applied, the tool's angle, and the direction of movement.
It can be used to remove excess material, create regular textures, refine a curve, or prepare a surface before joining two elements. It is suitable for both hand-building and finishing stages after throwing.
Made of stainless steel, it is resistant to moisture and easy to clean after each session. Its compact size allows it to be kept close at hand among shaping and finishing tools.
INFORMATION
The different profiles of the scraper allow you to modify the clay surface without changing tools. The serrated edges are used to create grooves, rough out an area, or prepare a surface, while the smoother parts allow for leveling and refining shapes.
The result varies depending on the clay's consistency. On soft clay, the marks will be deeper; on slightly firmed clay, material removal will generally be cleaner and more controlled.
FEATURES
• Material: stainless steel
• Profiles: smooth and serrated edges
• Functions: scraping, leveling, texturing, material removal, and surface preparation
• Uses: ceramics, pottery, modeling, and clay sculpting
USE & CARE
Hold the scraper slightly angled against the surface, then slide it with consistent pressure. Use the serrations to create grooves or remove material, and the smoother parts to level the surface and soften transitions.
To prepare for joining, pass a serrated edge over the two surfaces to be joined before adding slip. The grooves facilitate adhesion between the elements.
After use, remove clay residue before it dries, then rinse the tool with clear water. Dry it thoroughly before storing.
FOR WHOM
This scraper is suitable for individuals who practice pottery, clay sculpting, or modeling and wish to have a simple tool for removing material, preparing joins, or enriching surfaces with regular textures.
TO PAIR WITH
Pair this scraper with the measuring and tracing calipers for ceramics to control diameters and proportions, as well as the T-square with multiple markers to prepare regular lines on clay slabs.
♥ IKANE WORKSHOP TIP
Test each serration on a clay scrap, varying the angle and pressure. You can compare the depth of the marks before working on your piece and choose the profile that matches the desired finish.
