Shape 5 is the largest kidney-style pottery rib in the standard Mudtools polymer lineup. It offers more surface area than Shapes 0 & 1, making it perfect for smoothing slabs of clay, flattening large surfaces, and handling large forms where coverage and evenness matter.
Four Flexibility Options (Singles or 4-Pack):
- Red - Very Soft (R5): Flexible enough to gently polish full slabs without leaving marks.
- Yellow - Soft (Y5): Smooths broad surfaces with mild support.
- Green - Medium (G5): Balanced strength, great for larger forms.
- Blue - Firm (B5): Excellent for compressing clay and flattening large areas with control.
Why You’ll Love The Mudtools Shape 5 Pottery Rib:
- Maximum Coverage: Covers more clay with each pass—faster smoothing and more even surfaces. 
- Kidney-Ease Design: Same beloved kidney shape you know, just scaled up—less effort for big work. 
- Long-Lasting Material: The polymer resists burrs, resists wear, and burnishes beautifully. 
- Flexible Styles: Opt for your preferred firmness or the full pack so you have a rib for every level of shaping.
If you’re working large—huge bowls, slabs, or big pieces—Shape 5 is a must-have in your rib toolkit.
Pairs perfectly with the #1 selling Mudtools Do·All Pottery Trimming Tool & Mudtools Pottery Sponges. 🤗
