Diamond Pottery Sponges - 3 Pack 

Black - Tough Sponge

Purple - Medium Sponge 

Light Blue - Fine Sponge 

Squeeze more productivity out of your pottery projects with the practical Pottery Sponges from DiamondCore Tools. These essential ceramics accessories come in three finishes — tough, medium and fine — giving you a creative assist whether throwing or hand-building.

Made from long-lasting synthetic material, these soft but strong sponges will be an essential and economical addition to your studio.

• Tough sponge (black) is best for shaping while wheel-throwing. Returns to form after compression and maintains support.
• Medium sponge (purple) is a good compromise for both throwing and finishing. Squishes slightly after compression, conforms to shapes. Smooth finish.
• Fine sponge (light blue) is best for final touch-ups or delicate pieces. Squishes most after compression, flexible, extremely smooth finish.
