Rib starter set

As with all my ribs, I designed them to have a sharp angled edge so it acts a bit like a metal rib that scrapes the slip/water covered surface off your pot as you are forming the piece. They also have an inbuilt foot shape reducing the trimming your pot needs at the leather hard stage and elevates your pot off the ground, providing visual interest and a lightness to the final form. They also come with a small magnet on the back so you can store it on a magnetic tool rack – no more rooting around in drawers or tubs trying to find the tool you need!

Using form ribs like this takes some practise, my best advice is to throw your pot to a similar shape of the rib and then use the rib to finesse the shape. I have found that about 500g of clay is a good starting point.

Each rib is 10.5cm tall.
There are mini and maxi size available for each rib profile available in a separate listing.

For left handed potters who have their wheel spinning clockwise, please select the Left handed option (LH).
