Mudtools Shape 1 Polymer Rib, Red Very Soft - Kidney Pottery Tool

Features

• •THE ALL-AROUND WORKHORSE — Shape 1 is the Mudtools bestseller: the classic kidney profile is large enough to cover real surface area and small enough to work tight curves and edges, so it stays within reach from first shaping through final finishing on the wheel, in handbuilding, and in sculpting.
• •SIGNATURE MUDTOOLS POLYMER — Made from Mudtools’ proprietary flexible polymer, this rib glides over wet clay without sticking or dragging and resists burrs. Unlike a wooden rib it becomes burnished with use rather than worn, so the finish it leaves stays consistent season after season.
• •SMOOTH, REFINE AND FINISH — Compress and smooth walls, refine rims, tidy transitions and lift small irregularities as you bring a piece toward its final form. At home in porcelain, stoneware and earthenware, and across ceramics from functional pots to sculpture.
• •FIVE COLOR-CODED FLEX GRADES — Every Shape 1 rib is the same profile in a different firmness: Pink Ultra Soft, Red Very Soft, Yellow Soft, Green Medium, Blue Firm. Choose the flex that suits your clay body and touch, or collect the range.
• •THIS RIB — RED, VERY SOFT (R1): A very soft, forgiving flex that follows a curve closely. Ideal for gentle smoothing and compressing without cutting into the surface. Made in the USA.
