Diamond Core Pottery Sponge — Tough, Medium, Fine

The essential Pottery Sponge from DiamondCore Tools is an accessory no studio should be without. Available in three varieties of finishes — tough, medium and fine — these sponges feel like a soft and comfortable extension of your hand. It’s easy to take your wheel-throwing and hand-building skills to the next level with these sponges — just add water!

• Tough sponge (black) is best for shaping while wheel-throwing. Returns to form after compression and maintains firm support.
• Medium sponge (purple) is a good compromise for both throwing and finishing. Squishes slightly after compression, conforms to shapes. Smooth finish.
• Fine sponge (light blue) is best for final touch-ups or delicate pieces. Squishes most after compression, flexible, extremely smooth finish.
