The Shape 2 Rib is the original workhorse in the MudTools collection. Inspired by Michael Sherrill’s favorite classic rib, it excels at throwing, smoothing, and compressing clay. If you need a reliable tool to shape generously curved walls or firm up surfaces, Shape 2 delivers.
Four Flexibility Options (Singles or 4-Pack):
- Red - Very Soft (R2): Gentle touch for smoothing delicate surfaces.
- Yellow - Soft (Y2): Ideal for softer shaping and light compression.
- Green - Medium (G2): Balanced firmness, great for everyday rib work.
- Blue - Firm (B2): Strong resistance for compressing and shaping tougher clay forms.
Why You’ll Love The Mudtools Shape 2 Pottery Rib:
- Versatile Performer: Perfect across throwing, hand-building, and sculpting—especially on rounded forms that need compressing and refinement.
- Durable & Clean: Polymer material resists burrs and wear; gets more burnished and smooth with use.
- Flexible Options: Choose your firmness or get all four colors so you can go from very soft to firm depending on project and clay.
- Essential Tool: Acts like an extension of the artist’s hand—lets you shape and finish surfaces where fingers alone can’t reach.
Pairs perfectly with the #1 selling Mudtools Shape 1 Pottery Rib & Mudtools Pottery Sponges. 🤗
