Description

Have you ever made a hollow form and then tried to bump out the clay, only to find that you just can’t reach your arm or your knuckle to the sweet spot? You need The Bump! The Bump is designed to extend the potter’s reach up to 18 inches when working in a hollow form: giving you the leverage you need to bump out, alter or heal seams in the clay. The aluminum rod is stiff but can be altered to suit your individual need for throwing or sculpting clay. We can ship it to you straight and you can set whatever curve you desire. (See photos) The sponge end is a dense, chamois like, material with a hard center.

The Baby Bump has nothing to do with becoming a parent. It’s all about you being able to "bump out" or alter the clay when working in a hollow form or cylinder. Smaller than the Bump, but longer than your hand, the Baby Bump is designed to extend the potter’s or sculptor’s reach up to 13 inches. It gives you the leverage you need to move clay or heal seams where your hand can’t reach. The aluminum rod is stiff and shipped straight, but it can be altered to suit your individual need for throwing or hand building clay. It is bendable but not flexible.  The idea is to put a bend or curve in it and leave it. The bump end is a dense sponge material with a hard center. 

These are a contouring tool, not a mopping tool.
