Our centering aid makes it easy to quickly and effortlessly center clay on the wheel. It applies firm, steady pressure to reduce wobble caused by the natural movement of your hands, ensuring you achieve a perfectly centered lump every time.

Version 2 introduces two key features: an easier hand-holding experience with the looped two-hand grip, and the innovative ripple design. The looped grip allows you to hold the tool with both hands, providing added stability and control. The ripple design mimics the pressure points of your hands, replicating the manual technique of centering clay. As you move the tool upward, the ripples function like the bony pressure points of your hands, centering portions of the clay individually to form a concentric outer surface. Once the clay is centered, simply rotate the tool to use its smooth edge, creating a perfectly even finish.

Absolutely! This tool is designed for both beginners and experienced potters. For beginners, it makes centering easier to master, while professionals will appreciate the consistency it brings to their workflow.

Our centering aid is available in two sizes to accommodate different clay weights. The smaller tool is perfect for lumps up to 1.5kg, while the larger tool is recommended for clay over 1.5kg. Both sizes are versatile and can adapt to most common clay weights used in wheel-throwing. For exceptionally large lumps, typically over 4kg, a custom-made tool can be created, although this size is less commonly needed in most pottery work.
