Thank you for finding the answer so quickly.
Michael Sherrill section of the Penland Book of
Ceramics is how I came upon this PVA sponge.
His work is shown using a extruder that hangs from
above and these sponges are on a rod in all different
sizes to help develop shape as he goes. I love those
handy dandy tools all of you come up with.
Thanks again a happy potter Maggie
