What materials are our pottery & ceramic tools made of? Are they durable and long-lasting

Pottery and ceramic tools can be made from a variety of materials such as metal, wood, plastic, rubber, and more, depending on the specific tool and its purpose.

For example, tools such as pottery knives, rib tools, and loop tools are often made from stainless steel, which is a durable and long-lasting material that resists rust and corrosion. Similarly, pottery wheels and kilns may be made from high-quality metals or ceramics that are designed to withstand high temperatures and regular use.

It's important for manufacturers to use materials that are both durable and safe for use with clay and other materials commonly used in pottery and ceramics. Materials that are too porous or fragile can be prone to breaking or cracking, which can be dangerous or cause damage to the pottery or ceramics being worked on.

Overall, when selecting pottery and ceramic tools, it's important to choose tools that are made from high-quality materials that are durable, long-lasting, and safe for use in the pottery-making process.
