Clay Shield by Wiziwig Tools

Trim with an Edge: Less "Crunching" and More Reclaiming!
Keep Your Studio Healthy - Versatile for Most Splash Pans

The Clay Shield is a flexible row of interlocking plastic panels that wrap around the splash pan of most pottery wheels. The Clay Shield is high enough to catch most of the clay scraps, splats, and slip spatters that happened while throwing or trimming, and low enough not to get in your way too much! Keep your clay in the splash pan where it belongs, not on your floors -- and everywhere else, as we all know from experience. You'll benefit from using (and re-using) more of your clay, spending less time on studio cleanup, and reducing possible amounts of dust.

The Giffin Grip Model 10

The Giffin Grip Model 10 has proven its usefulness thousands of times in studios across the country and around the world. It has become an all-but-essential tool for production work of any size or kind on the wheel. We stock the Standard (Counter Clockwise) package as well as the Japanese (Clockwise) set.

The Giffin Grip is a recentering, holding and trimming tool for leatherhard or bisque ware. After an initial one-time adjustment, the Giffin Grip snaps on and off your wheelhead easily. Three arms position your pot in the center, and you're ready to work. The complete package comes with everything you see here, including:

  • Basic sliders for plates, bowls and lids.
  • 2" arms for mugs, teacups and small casseroles
  • 3" arms for larger mugs
  • 4" arms for small bottles, pitchers and jars
  • 5" arms for medium bottles and pitchers
  • 6" arms for taller bottles, pitchers and larger vases
  • Wide sliders expand the usable diameter to 14 inches

  • Locking button ensures that it stays tight.
  • Fits on the Aspire wheel!
