Polymer Rib Shape 1

Shape 1. Not too big and not too small. It’s just right. You need one in your toolbox, and you really do. The traditional kidney-shaped rib is the most universally recognized pottery tool. It fits well in the hand and is useful for sculpting, hand-building and throwing clay.

All of our polymer ribs are made of unique flexible materials that are resistant to wear and the formation of burrs. We’ve found that with general use these ribs become burnished over time. Each polymer rib shape is available in variations of flexibility.

Red –  Very Soft

Yellow – Soft

Green – Medium

Blue – Firm

Whether you are throwing clay on the wheel, hand-building or sculpting, the pottery rib is a classic and essential tool. It acts as an extension of the potter’s hand to create shapes and surfaces that fingers alone can not achieve.

We believe our tools should not only function well but should be pleasant to look at and a joy to use. Whatever you want to make, we’ve got you covered.
