The shapers have a variety of shapes which can be used in wide or tight areas of your designs.Â
The set came with the carving tools on the left and the dimpling tools on the right. The carving tools can be used to carve designs into either clay in the wet stage. However, you can also carve Metal Clay in the greenware/ leather hard stage and even to bone dry stage as well, if you know what you are doing.Â
Polymer Clayis usually carved in the first stage of work. I can be molded and sculpted without the aid of release agents or water. But you will need to use a bit of release agent on these tools with Metal Clay. These carving tools have various shapes of tools on both ends, including a few drill bits for making holes in the clays.
Dimpling tools are used to add design elements and texture to clay work. They are also used as dotting tools for applying wet paint to craft projects. They come in a variety of sizes as shown in the photo above.Â
