Mugg Plugg an innovative, patent-pending pottery form
Mugg Pluggs make handbuilding pottery a dream!
They are used as a form to help establish and maintain the desired shape while working the clay. Whether smoothing a seam, applying a base or attaching a handle the Mugg Plugg keeps your piece in shape from start to finish. The patent pending Standing Handle allows you to work the piece without having to lay it down which could cause a deforemation. Have your Mugg formed and ready but need to pull a handle? No worries just rest your piece off to the side using the standing handle and come back to it later.
The Mugg Pluggs are available in a variety of shapes and styles to fit your needs.
Keep your piece true with the Rim Rounder
The Rim Rounder is a perfectly true rounding device with an ergonomic handle. Whether on or off the wheel, you can easily control and give your piece that perfect finishing touch.
The Rim Rounder was our first product we created to have a premium alternative to rim cones which tend to be printed 3D printed plastic parts which are rough and tend to score the piece; or our first created alternative in a glazed and fired cone made of pottery which lacked a handle to allow control.
