Why Potters Love This Set

• Ceramic Shrinkage Ruler Included: One ruler is specially calibrated to account for clay shrinkage during firing, so your finished pieces come out exactly the size you planned.
• Flexible Plastic Construction: The soft, pliable material is easy to handle and contour around curved surfaces — a huge advantage when measuring irregular clay forms.
• Two Sizes for Every Task: Includes a larger ruler (36 × 5.5 × 0.1 cm / 14.15 × 2.16 × 0.04 in) and a narrower ruler (31 × 3.6 × 0.2 cm / 12.18 × 1.41 × 0.08 in), covering a wide range of measuring and layout needs.
• Versatile Multi-Purpose Use: Perfect for carving, shaping, modeling, trimming, scaling, and caliper-style measurements across all clay bodies — stoneware, earthenware, and porcelain.
• Suitable for All Skill Levels: Ideal for ceramic enthusiasts, students, pottery classes, and professional studio artists alike.
• Durable & Long-Lasting: High-quality plastic resists warping and moisture, so these rulers hold up through wet-clay work session after session.
