How to use it
How the rib works
Four moves you'll make again and again in the studio.
-
Compress the slab
Draw the rib across the clay slab, always in the same direction. This aligns the clay particles and compresses the slab, so it won't crack.
-
Scrape away bumps
Use the rib as a scraper to remove the bumps left behind while building your piece.
-
Cut the clay
Its thin edge cuts cleanly: slabs, strips and whatever is left over at the rim.
-
Shape curves
The rib's curves give shape to vases, mugs and any other piece. Depending on how you hold it, you can form concave or convex curves.
