Questions & Answers
Most likely not, but since they're so inexpensive, why not stock up?
The box serves no purpose other than to store the tools if they are dry when placed inside. A block of florist's foam is one of the tools I've used as a professional potter. It comes in a variety of sizes and can be cut into any shape you want; I simply stabbed them into the foam in groups. Because it's porous, you should expect moisture to pass through. That, in my opinion, is a positive development. I make every effort to keep my tools clean and dry. In my studio, I have several blocks full of tools.
There are no instructions included with the tools, but you do get a lot of them for the money, and you can always look up pottery tools on the internet for more information.
Mine is used to sculpt polymer clay.

The quality is not very good. To be honest, this kit is ideal for someone who is just getting started and wants to have as many logo-related tools as possible. I bought these with the expectation that they wouldn't be too bad, but after testing the strength of the metal and discovering how easily they bent, I knew I had to return them. Furthermore, the metal rib logo appeared to be smearing, and some of the tools were of poor quality. Some, for example, had a crazy burr where there should have been a nice point or edge. I've included a few images for you to look at. If you enjoy needles, this is the kit for you, as almost every other double-ended tool has a needle on one side. As I previously stated, it's a good product if you're not serious about pottery and don't mind carrying a lot of tools you'll probably never use. However, if you want something that will last a long time, pick up some Kemper or another non-$20 beer. Kits with 40 different tools. The quantity as well as the price should be a good deal. Regrettably, I was duped. haha.
I've only recently started learning to sculpt, and this set is exactly what I've been looking for. I don't require a complete set of high-end headphones. I don't need high-end tools, but I do need a comprehensive set that will allow me to try out as many different tools as possible, and this set provides just that. As I practice more, I'll undoubtedly discover that I use a small subset of the tools the majority of the time, and those will be the tools for which I'll consider upgrading to more expensive 'pro' models. It doesn't matter to me that it didn't come with a carrying case or any other kind of pouch- I don't like slipping markers or small paint brushes in and out of pouches while I'm working, and I don't think I'd like doing the same with sculpting tools. Storage is readily available, and the majority of it protects tools far better than a plastic pouch. FIVE OUT OF FIVE OUT OF FIVE OUT OF FIVE OUT.
This is not a premium item in my opinion. The wood handles on the majority of the items are unfinished, and those that are finished do not match the other wood tools. Match generically with other kits, plus add $5 for useless tools. br>It comes in a cardboard box with a plastic bag inside of it. It should be packaged in a roll-out pouch. One of the instruments is splintered and appears to have been made with a pencil sharpener. Other items appeared to be overly glued and sloppily put together. Most likely, I'll come back.
These sculpting tools are of good quality. Sculpting tools of high quality are difficult to come by. I'd like to see better handles that are easier to hold, but considering the number of tools for the price, the better-made tools are much more expensive. If you're just getting started in sculpting, these would be a great starter package. There are a variety of tools to choose from, and if you do a lot of sculpting, this set will most likely have a tool to suit your needs.
I tried twice, and each time I got a 12-piece Arteza paint set instead of the tools I ordered. I have no idea if the tools are adequate. Attempting to obtain them from Amazon is a waste of time and money. br>br>Arteza Clay and Pottery Tools was the label on the paint boxes both times. It's not only a bad decision, but it's also a bad deal, as the tools are several dollars more expensive than the paint. br>br>Do you think I'd get the tools I wanted if I ordered Arteza paint? That'd be a fantastic offer.
Some of the wood handles aren't particularly well finished. This collection appears to be comprehensive. My daughter can use these until they're worn out and she gets a sense of which tools she'll want to replace with more expensive/higher-quality tools. They were sent in a padded envelope with a crushed box inside. Surprisingly, there was no damage to the tools themselves. Once again, this is an excellent starter kit.
I needed professional tools to sculpt out a 4 foot Tyrannosaurus Rex. I thought this Arteza set would be perfect, but it's not. br>br>I need tools that are both sturdy and reliable, and these aren't them. They may be suitable for children or small projects, but those wishing to pursue a career in sculpting should look elsewhere. Three of the tools have already snapped or been yanked from their sleeves. These have been in my possession for several days. br>br>This gets one star because I will never buy Arteza tools again and will instead go with a more reputable brand next time.
For the holidays, my mother requested a pottery set. She admired the comprehensiveness of this set, which includes a variety of tools and scrapers. My daughter is taking a ceramics class this year and has expressed an interest in having her own tools. She gushed about how complete the set was when she got it.
