Only Bailey Extruders open
up the full realm of possibilities in the art of extrusion.
Ceramic artists, like
Gladys Soued and Bill Shinn, have explored the extruding medium and
developed outstanding results with their Bailey Extruders. Look for
Extruded Ceramics and Ceramic Extruder for the Studio Potter in our book
section for informative technical information.

Understanding the Extrusion
Process
Bailey extruders
open up entirely new possibilities in clay construction that were never
before possible. The extruder can be used to produce tile, moldings,
handles, sculptural and utilitarian forms, 3-dimensional tile, modular
construction and much more. Many complex forms can be extruded that
would not be possible in any other process. Also, extruded forms have
no seams! As a result, forms are stronger and require only a fraction of
the time to assemble. Only Bailey equipment gives you a completely
balanced selection of extruders, dies, and accessories to choose from.
Bailey extruders come in
two groups: the Standard Extruders and the System Extruders.
The Standard Extruders are economical extruders that do not have
interchangeable barrels. The System Extruders provide maximum versatility
of the entire extruding range through the use of interchangeable
barrels on a common drive frame.
If you are intending to
extrude large scale forms, we firmly suggest that you purchase the Cutting/Removal
Fixture. This fixture (pictured in the photo on the left) provides the
necessary function of cutting extrusions “squarely” and removing
them efficiently.
