Natural sponges have been used by potters for years. However, the quality of natural sponges can be unpredictable. Mudsponges are made of a biodegradable and environmentally friendly material that is incredibly durable.
The Blue Workhorse is a great all-purpose pop-up sponge made of an open cell material that is very absorbent. We’ve shaped it like a potters rib to fit comfortably in the palm of your hand. Dyed with a natural pigment, the color will fade with use.
The White Finishing is a pop-up sponge made with a tight cell material and is less absorbent than the Blue Workhorse. It is excellent for finishing work, final detail and clean-up of surfaces and won’t pull out grog or other materials in the clay body. Think of it like a chamois sponge.
