All of our Mudtools polymer pottery ribs are made of a unique flexible material that will not develop burrs or cracks under normal use. We've found that over time the rib becomes even more polished. Each polymer shape is available in a variety of hardness.

Sometimes you need to make a point! The corner point on the Shape 4 Polymer Ribs gives a beautiful line on the clay; you also get two flat surfaces and three radiuses. Michael wants this one in his toolbox if he's stranded on a deserted island. The Green Medium is great for compressing bottoms, burnishing, trim marks, throwing, and handbuilding.

Whether you are throwing clay on the wheel, hand building or sculpting, the pottery rib is a classic and essential tool. Because it acts as an extension of the potters own hand, we believe it should function well and be a joy to use.
