Create Wild Texture on Your Pots with The Steve Tool

Developed by Steve Graber of  Graber’s Pottery Inc., The Steve Tool  can add additional interest to your pottery.  It has the added advantage of helping to control runny glazes. This tool can be used on both thrown and hand built pottery. When used on pottery being turned on the wheel it produces texture by the Roulette method.

Steve Tool

The tool consists of a handle to which you attach the texture wheels in any configuration you desire. There are two types of texture wheels, a gear style and a spoke style. Assemble your Steve Tool and enjoy the surface effects you can achieve. See what other potters have done.  You can purchase a Steve Tool by visiting  Graber’s Pottery Inc.
