The Clay Sculpting Tool is a small hand tool for shaping wet clay. It is the basic tool of the Pottery bench.
It suits a survivor taking up Pottery to make molds and small clay goods. The tool is light, and the recipes that use it keep it, so one tool lasts through many projects.
The tool is most often found in art stores. Attics, closets and garages hold one now and then. The Carpenter is the best occupation for tools. It starts with the most Carpentry skill. The Construction Worker and the DIY Expert also start with some Carpentry skill.
Using
The tool works at a Pottery Bench. It serves any recipe that asks for a clay tool.
The Press Sheet Mold recipe uses it to make a Clay Sheet Mold (Unfired). That recipe needs no Pottery skill, so it is a good first project. The Sculpt Smoking Pipe recipe shapes a Clay Smoking Pipe (Unfired). That one needs Pottery level 3.
Both results come out unfired. They need firing before they become finished ceramic pieces.

Locations
