MoonMoon Pottery Tools

Made by Karleigh and Anthony

We strive to create fun, functional and high quality 3D printed pottery tools that can be used by anyone no matter your skill level or limitations.

MoonMoon Ceramics pottery tools were born during a difficult time in my life. I quit my job in healthcare after injuring my back. The pain made me unable to sit at my pottery wheel for any length of time. I found that standing was the most sustainable way I was able to continue working. My injury challenged me to pursue creating art in a different way. This new challenge of hand building with clay lead myself and partner Anthony on an incredible journey of discovery. Together we started designing prototypes, now we 3D print our own pottery tools.
