The Blue Workhorse is a great all-purpose pop-up sponge made of an open cell material that is very absorbent. It is shaped like a potters rib to fit comfortably in the palm of your hand. Dyed with a natural pigment, the colour will fade with use.
The White Finishing is made with a tight-cell material and is less absorbent than the Blue Workhorse. It is excellent for finishing work, final detail and clean-up of surfaces and won’t pull out grog or other materials in the clay body. Think of it like a chamois sponge.
Natural sponges have been used for years. However, the quality of natural sponges can be unpredictable and there are some issues of environmental pressure on the little guys. Our sponges are made of an environmentally friendly material that is incredibly durable and compressed for economy of space and for the fun of watching them expand when introduced to water.
