Ceramicists on Etsy spin their creations on pottery wheels, build molds, and use cutting and shaping tools to fashion objects of beauty and elegance. With the right ceramics tools and materials—and perhaps a beginner's kit and how-to guide—you, too, can explore a gratifying artform and express yourself through ceramics.
To get underway in crafting vases, bowls, and figurines, you’ll need:
A proper ceramic tool set for convenience and precision
Plastering tools to apply and shape plaster
Brushes and sponges to create texture and clean drips
Clay-handling tools to help you give form to porcelain, stoneware, and earthenware materials
