My Favorite Pottery Tools

I hope everyone is doing their best to stay healthy during these times. I've been struggling to stay motivated while working from home, but I finally finished this video! Hurray! :D
I get questions everyday asking what tools I use. I'm sure I will still receive those questions, but I figured making a cool video of all my most used favorites, could be cool.
My allergies were testing me while recording the VO, so I apologize for sounding like I am talking without a nose xD Thanks for watching and as promised, here are the links to all the tools in the video:

Wheel - Amaco Brent (It's a very old version of the B series)

Hsin Tools (for rounded wooden rib):

Other Clean Up Sponges:

Soft Clean Up Brush: I couldn't find the exact one that I have, but any soft bristle brush will do.

My name is Kaitlyn Chipps and I make pottery for a living! I am currently a resident artist at Mudfire in Atlanta, GA.

I love my disc ribs. Great recommendation! I use metal knitting needles of different sizes to clean and burnish joints. Michael Sherrill has gifted countless potters with his awesome tools! Thanks for this great video!

How do you go about carving that kind of foot? They’re to symmetrical.

[nybergr]

Is your clay at leather hard when you carve in like you do? Any basic tips on carving for a newbie? Thank you!

[matthewbiondi]

I just got a wheel from my siblings! I’m used to just sculpting small figures, but what kind of clay do you use for your wheel?? And what if you don’t have a kiln?

Great video! Just thought I’d give you a heads up, the link to Koda’s website in your description is no longer valid.
