Mudtools Clay Shredders

Mudtools Clay Shredders are indispensable tools for shaping and carving leather-hard clay. Available in three distinct styles for different purposes.

The Flat Shredder provides a long flat plane.

The Small Shredder is an indispensable tool for shaping and carving leather-hard clay. A good all-around rasp for basic cleanup tasks.

The Conical Shredder is for making longer strokes, and is good for texturing and working on rounded surfaces.

This type of rasp was originally designed to be used on wood, but then potters, sculptors and auto-body repairmen discovered how well the blade worked with other materials, like clay and auto-body filler. The problem with these rasps was the handle design – the handle would trap clay and get clogged. Mudtools designed a new open-blade shape as well as a comfortable ergonomic grip. These clay shredders function extremely well, and they don’t frustrate the user by trapping waste clay in the tool. An added benefit is the tool mark, which leaves a handsome textured surface in the clay. Best used on leather hard clay.
