Ribs, trimming kits, sponges and roller sets for a wheel, a table or a class of twelve.

A rib is the tool that decides the wall. Wood ribs compress and leave a throwing line, metal ribs cut and leave a smooth face, rubber ribs finish without lifting the slip. A class table needs all three and usually owns only the wood one.

The long sponge stick is the other thing that nobody buys until they need it: it is the only way to lift water out of the bottom of a tall form without wrecking the rim. Sets here run from $9.99, and the multi-piece kits are sized for a table of students rather than a single potter.

Counts here run 1 pieces to 72 pieces, and where a line comes in several of them they stand together, as in the rest of the Amylove selection.

Questions about Amylove pottery and clay tools

Which pottery ribs do you actually need?

Wood for throwing, metal for trimming a wall down, rubber for finishing. If you only buy one, buy the rubber: it is the one that saves a pot at the end.

Are these Amylove tools suitable for a class?

The multi-piece sets are sized for a table rather than a single wheel, and they come with duplicates of the tools that go missing.

What is the long sponge stick for?

Lifting water out of the bottom of a tall thrown form without reaching in and knocking the rim. There is no substitute once the form is taller than your hand.
