💚New View!💚
When I saw .ceramics video I was mind blown! What a cool way to show off a trimmed foot!!!! If you don’t follow her on IG- ya should!
💚Today you see me using the “Luxury interchangeable multi blade trimming tool set” by ! I spend just under 70 pounds on these ($95 ish USD). She kindly send me some extra blades to share with a friend- so that was nice! The blades are J2 420-grade hardened stainless steel and I have been enjoying playing with them over the last few months! They are a bit on the larger size for me - compared to the tools I usually go for - but the blades have felt sharp and it’s been going well!

🦄Part Two🦄
🦄 I purchased this from with my own money- this video is in no way sponsored
🦄 This tool is currently listed as $39.99 CAD with $15 US flat rate shipping
🦄Their website says this tool can help you center anywhere from 0.5 to 6 pounds of clay
🦄 Friendly reminder that not all tools are for all people- and that’s okay! I try my best to promote tools that make ceramics as inclusive as possible- sometimes they work for me and sometimes they dont. Either way, my goal is to help people sort out what works best for them 💚
