The Claw pottery rib is truly a unique and multi-purpose tool. Use the curved profile to achieve a beautiful bowl form with a large foot or flip it upside down for a footless profile! The opposite side offers a more gentle, inverted curve for shaping your piece. The tip is great for detail work, splitting rims on pots, and cleaning up the base of your pot!
Dimensions:
- Small: 4″ x 2″
- Medium: 5″ x 2.5″
Handmade from beautiful cherry wood in Spartanburg SC.

Excellent rib.
Excellent tool
Did i initially gravitate to this because it looks like a velociraptor claw? MAYBE (yes, yes i did)! Is it also an excellent profile rib for anything round like bowls or the bottoms of mugs? Also YES! Definitely recommend, especially for bowls. I was also drawn in by using it for interestingly shaped mugs and I also use it for that (the concave side for the bottom, then flip it around to use the convex side for the top).
Been really happy with both sizes of this tool (as well as the relatedly shaped tooth tool)! Definitely recommend
Fast delivery. Beautiful tool and easy to use.
The tools are beautifully crafted and designed. I have had an opportunity to use the tools yet but I am certain they will exceed my expectations.
About Us
Stoic Clay Tools is just the two of us, Brett and Rachel, working together in a small workshop in Upstate SC. When we made our first batch of tools in 2023 we realized how much we enjoyed designing and shaping pieces with the same attention to detail that potters bring to their own work. Since then we have come a long way, making thousands of ribs for hundreds of potters in the US and around the world. We are extremely grateful for every potter who chooses what we make to become part of their own process.
