Shape 5 is the same traditional kidney-shape as Shapes 0 & 1, only bigger. It offers more surface coverage, making it great for smoothing a slab of 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.
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 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.
Shape 5 is also available in stainless steel.
