Curly Red Mudwire bead rack

Curly Red Mudwire bead rackWhen Michael Sherrill was just a wee pup of a potter, he watched in awe as someone used the spring from a ballpoint pen as a pottery tool. Fast forward to Michael designing tools for potters, and you have the Curly Red Mudwire. This is more than just a cut off tool. The coiled wire leaves a beautiful pattern as you pull it through the clay. Use it for faceting, and you get a surface that looks beautiful on wood fired or salt fired pots and underglazes
