How to access this tool

Key information

Yellow tools require further training. Training will be available either in the form of a bookable tool training session, or by dropping into the space and making an arrangement with a technician.

A clay extruder is a mechanical tool that forces clay through a shaped opening (a die) to create consistent, uniform shapes like coils, tubes, or decorative patterns, saving time and enabling precise forms for pottery, sculpture, and jewelry making, similar to an icing dispenser but much stronger for clay.

What training do I need to use this tool?

The induction for the clay extruder is by arrangement with a technician.

If you would like to use the clay extruder, come to the workshop during opening hours and work out a time to be inducted with one of the technical staff.
