Long and lean, the Large Platter Rib is designed to give good compression when you are making plates and platters. It enables proper compression of the clay to avoid those cracks that sometimes develop. The Large Platter Rib is made with a stiff polymer, but still offers some flexibility.
All of our polymer ribs are made of 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 Large Platter Rib is available in the following flexibility options:
• Green - Medium
• Black - Extra Firm
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.
