How do I make a clay cutter

Clay-cutter

Claycutter: Is a must-have tool for all potters as is the only tool used to cut clay.
I find very fine picture framing wire to be the best, it can be wound around and handles you prefer from buttons to wooden dowel.(an incision should be made in the dowel for the wire to sit in , or your hands feel the result).
For slicing large slabs to wedge, I use very strong fishing line and buttons, this I find is the easiest on my hands.
