Throwing Tools
The Potter's Wand II
The Potter's Wand is a throwing and shaping wonder stick! It works like an extension of your fingers in those places you just can't reach: curve it to reach into narrow-necked wheelthrown forms, or leave it straight to reach into large and deep pieces. It's made of silicone rubber over a stainless steel structure, with a total length of 15-1/4 inchdes -- almost 3 inches longer than traditional Japanese throwing sticks. Xiem does not recommend bending it back and forth repeatedly, but once bent or curved into your favorite shape, it will last for years. Works equally well for right-handed or left-handed potters.
