Question 1

What are Prairie Clay Tools made from?

Accepted Answer

Our tools are 3D-printed using durable, studio-tested plastic designed to withstand regular pottery use. Each tool is tested in a real ceramics studio before being listed for sale.

Question 2

Are your tools food safe?

Accepted Answer

Our tools are designed for use with clay and are safe for foods. You SHOULD NOT use a cutter with clay then use it with food for your own health and wellness.

Question 3

Are the cutters flexible or rigid?

Accepted Answer

Our cutters are rigid to ensure clean edges, consistent shapes, and reliable results when cutting clay slabs.

Question 4

Can these tools be used with all clay bodies?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Prairie Clay Tools can be used with most clay bodies, including stoneware, porcelain, and earthenware. Results may vary depending on clay softness and shrinkage rate.

Question 5

Do I press on the crossbars when cutting?

Accepted Answer

No — for best results, apply pressure to the outer walls of the cutter. The reinforced crossbars provide stability but are not designed to be pressed on directly.
