Extruded bisc, broom handles wrapped in string, and laser cut texture tools

Texture tools for clay. Made from broom handles wrapped in fabric tape. Layered tape produces subtle marks varying in depth.

Laser cut components treaded onto dowel. Some fixed with glue, others are loose to remain adjustable.

Extruded lengths of clay - some adjusted by hand with modelling tools, some twisted while wet. All bisc fired. The holes are where handles can be attached to more evenly regulate pressure.
