Mudsponges Pack, White Finishing Pottery Sponge, Orange Absorbant, Blue Workhourse, Wheel Throwing, Hand Building Clay, Ceramics (3-Pack)

The best pottery sponges made. Very soft and hold water well.

Mudtools --- ALWAYS the potters standard!

These are thinner than standard sponges that come in economy kits. The thin nature allows better touch and contact with the clay while controlling water release. They are rock-hard upon arrival and after non-use for a day or two, but quickly hydrate and soften. There are three levels of textures dependent on color and they each work well for their use and the shapes fit well in the hand. So far, they have proven durable during use over a few months. Hopefully, they last a long time, but I would buy again if they start to wear over time.

Love the texture of these sponges. These are the best sponges for throwing pottery. They are very absorbent sponges especially the white one which is my favorite. I love the texture of the sponges. Do you have a blue one? That is more orange that is in between in the white is a very smooth sponge. This is must have two for any Potter.

Sponges work well, never used a good sponge to throw before these ones, much better work

Excellent sponges for ceramics. If you can let them dry fully before storing it might keep the colors from bleeding (when stacked slightly damp the blue/white/yellow transfers onto other sponges). Not an issue that affects use, all in all these are worth the spend.

As usual mudtools uses color to distinguish differences in similar products. The blue is thinner, very flexable, with large pores resembling a kitchen sponge in texture. The orange is a bit more rigged/firmer, with less pores, and a tad thicker body. The white has a very smooth texture with no visible pores, same thickness as the orange, similar rigidity maybe a tiny bit firmer. I just threw with them for the first time and I love them. I would say the blue one doesnt seem as if it will have the longest life span but time will tell. They came completely flat, like spongy chips, which looks strange but pop right into shape as soon as you wet them.

I really do like these sponges. I was a tiny bit surprised by how thin they were, but as you can see I added a picture of each of them partially wet so you can see the size they come and the size when wet as a comparison. I think these would be best used with a clay body without grog (which is what I have) so I found the sponges make the surface emphasize the grog in the clay making it have a rough surface. So, for me, I've been using it mainly to add water to the piece while I turn which makes the small size useful to tuck in your hand. They all seem quite absorbent (maybe a bit more with the orange and blue) and can hold a decent bit of water which saves me from sticking my hands in my water bucket every 15 seconds!

I am a potter and love the mud tools products!

Llegaron en tiempo y son súper útiles para tornear y para construcción manual, absorben bastante y son muy manejables.

These are great to work with.
