Whether 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't achieve.
We believe our tools should not only function well but should be a joy to use as well as pleasant to look at. Whatever you want to make, Mudtools has you covered.
