Made from Mudtools’ proprietary soft polymer blend, it offers flexible, non-sticking performance ideal for tight curves and delicate rim work. Available in multiple firmness levels with color-coded cues, this durable, USA-made rib is a favorite among professional potters for detailed smoothing and quick corrections. ## Description The Mudtools Shape 0 Rib is your first pick when precision matters more than coverage. Its small, kidney‑style body slips into tight curves, crisp rims, and detailed contours, so you can refine a form without shifting to a bigger, less precise tool. It excels at finishing work: tiny corrections on lips, subtle smoothing on walls, and quick tweaks that keep a piece balanced and clean as you throw or hand‑build. Made from Mudtools’ signature polymer, Shape 0 flexes just enough to follow the form without losing control. It glides smoothly, resists sticking, and won’t drag or mar the surface, which keeps your clay looking finished, not roughed up. This is a tool you’ll reach for again and again—in early shaping, mid‑throw adjustments, or final refinements. Available in four firmness levels with simple color cues, from very soft to extra‑firm, so you can match resistance to clay body, technique, or personal feel. One Shape 0 covers countless shaping needs: rim work, edge cleanup, curve transitions, detail smoothing, and more. Built to last in the USA by Mudtools, it’s an essential companion for any serious studio. ## Features - Shape 0 is Mudtools’ smallest polymer rib and a long‑running bestseller, with the classic kidney silhouette that potters rely on for precision. Its compact size lets you get into tight curves, narrow transitions, and close to rims—places larger ribs can’t reach easily. - This little rib is ideal when you need fast, controlled corrections—finishing rims, tidying edges, or smoothing small wall sections before moving on to larger tools. The refined profile gives clear feedback in the hand, so adjustments feel deliberate rather than guesswork. - Signature Polymer Flexibility: Crafted from Mudtools’ proprietary polymer blend, the Edgy Rib is flexible, durable, and glides over clay without sticking or dragging—leaving behind a flawless finish every time. Compared to wooden ribs, polymber rIbs are much longer lasting. - Color-Coded Firmness Levels: Each color represents a different firmness: Pink – Ultra Soft; Red: Very Soft – gentle touch for fine adjustments; Yellow: Soft – ideal balance for everyday use; Green: Medium – for controlled shaping and compression; Blue: Firm – for structure and strength - Made in the USA by Mudtools: Designed by potter Michael Sherrill and trusted by ceramic artists worldwide. Built to last, easy to clean, and comfortable in the hand—every studio needs at least one. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #32,852 in Arts, Crafts & Sewing ( See Top 100 in Arts, Crafts & Sewing ) #162 in Ceramic & Pottery Tools | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 24 Reviews | ## Images ![Mudtools Pottery Ribs – Shape 0 Polymer Rib (Yellow Soft), Small Kidney-Shaped Clay Shaping Tool for Clay & Ceramics (Y0) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61pAjEudNqL.jpg) ![Mudtools Pottery Ribs – Shape 0 Polymer Rib (Yellow Soft), Small Kidney-Shaped Clay Shaping Tool for Clay & Ceramics (Y0) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61dPrC0P56L.jpg) ![Mudtools Pottery Ribs – Shape 0 Polymer Rib (Yellow Soft), Small Kidney-Shaped Clay Shaping Tool for Clay & Ceramics (Y0) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71v3N2rt6NL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by K***N on November 24, 2025* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by I***N on April 3, 2019* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by T***Y on June 12, 2024* --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.ke/products/97011795-mudtools-pottery-ribs-shape-0-polymer-rib-yellow-soft-small](https://www.desertcart.co.ke/products/97011795-mudtools-pottery-ribs-shape-0-polymer-rib-yellow-soft-small) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kenya* *Store origin: KE* *Last updated: 2026-07-15*
