From Mud: The Shape 1 Rib is our bestseller tool. It’s not too big and not too small. It’s just right. You need one in your toolbox; you really do. The traditional kidney-shaped rib is the most universally recognized pottery tool. It fits nicely in 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.
