Hardwood Clay Strips - Pack of 8 - 60cm Long

The Hardwood Clay Strips are an essential classroom resource for achieving consistent thickness in clay, dough, and modelling activities. This set includes 8 durable hardwood strips in four distinct thicknesses-3mm, 7mm, 10mm, and 13mm-providing a versatile and effective tool for precision work. Each 60cm strip can be placed on either side of the clay or dough to guide rolling pins and ensure a uniform surface across projects. Whether used in ceramics, sculpture, baking prep, or design tasks, these strips help students gain confidence and control in shaping materials evenly. Designed for repeated use in educational settings, they also support the development of fine motor coordination, spatial awareness, and attention to detail. A practical tool for schools, studios, and workshops, these strips simplify modelling techniques while supporting creative learning.
