K27

 

6" This Sgraffito tool has a sharp stainless steel, spear-shaped blade on one end and a small forked, twin-line point on the other.  The twin-line works well for hairlines, wood grain and basketweave sgraffito effects in limited access areas.  The spear-shaped blade is designed to provide sharp smooth cuts for incising, excising, widening and deepening detailed work
WLS

 

6.25" Wire Loop Sgraffito Tool has small wire loops on each end of this tool provide a method of sgraffito in which variations of line width can be made within a single stroke.  The furrow created by the loops is smooth and does not exhibit the flakiness usually associated with other sgraffito methods.
WS 6" The Wire Stylus is a versatile tool for incising greenware.  A small wire loop, firmly set in a hardwood handle creates various size furrows, depending on the angle of the point.

Ball Stylus Tools are excellent for sgraffito, embossing and tole painting.  Each ball end is made of stainless steel, treated for hardness and set in a smooth hardwood handle.
