Long and lean, the Large Platter Rib is designed to give good compression when making plates and platters. It enables proper compression of the clay to avoid those cracks that sometimes develop. The Small Platter Rib is made with a stiff polymer but still offers some flexibility. The Small Platter Rib is particularly useful in making shallow pasta-style bowls. All of our polymer ribs are made of a unique flexible materials, that are resistant to wear and the formation of burrs. We've found that with general use this rib material becomes burnished over time. The Small Platter Polymer Rib is available in the following flexibility options: • Green - Medium - SPRG • Black - Extra Firm - SPRB 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.
