This small Kidney Rib is a handy everyday tool for shaping, smoothing, and refining your pots. Its gentle kidney shaped curve fits well against bowls, cups, and small plates, giving you steady control on both the inside and outside walls. The shape also makes it easy to reach tighter spots where larger ribs feel awkward and clumsy.

On the wheel, you can use it to smooth and shape walls, even out bumps, and tidy up the final form. It works just as well for hand building, where it helps join seams, compress edges, and scrape away excess clay.

This smaller size is easy to hold, easy to control, and great for quick shaping or finishing work on pots of any style. If you want to refine forms without a bulky tool getting in your way, this little rib does the job.

Dimensions: 2.88” x 2"

Made from beautiful cherry hardwood in Spartanburg, SC.

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.
