What does U.S. Art Supply make?

U.S. Art Supply sells budget-minded art and classroom gear, and its pottery items in our catalogue span four categories. They are practical, plainly specified basics rather than specialist tools.

Which U.S. Art Supply product lines are in our catalogue?

  • Tool sets: 12 piece set in a canvas zippered case (rib, scrapers, wire cutter, ribbon, needle, loop tool, sponge) and a 53 piece set in a plastic case.
  • Banding wheels: ST-210, 12 in cast metal, 50 lb capacity; ST-209, 7 in, 40 lb, 3¾ in tall.
  • Bats: 11 in plastic bats, 2-pack, 3/8 in thick, listed to fit the U.S. Art Supply wheel (model USA PW-101).
  • Drying rack: 25 removable wire shelves, 4 lb per shelf, 14.5 × 17.5 × 38 in.

How does U.S. Art Supply compare with other brands?

Its tool sets compete with Kemper kits and the Mudtools Essentials kit; the 53 piece set adds many more wooden tools. Its banding wheels compete with cast iron wheels from DUPDMKIN, MAOPINER and others listing 40 lb, and with the plastic Activa sculpting wheel. Check bat fit carefully: these bats list a specific wheel model.

Who should choose U.S. Art Supply?

U.S. Art Supply suits beginners, families and classrooms who want broad coverage at a modest level: one set of tools, a sturdy turntable and somewhere to dry work. Potters who already know which tools they like often buy single tools from specialist brands instead.

The studio checklist shows which basics you still need.
