Sherrill Mudtools Polymer Ribs
Mudtools have rebuilt following the Hurricane and are again producing products. We have several orders in with them and anticipate receiving stock in February. We are accepting preorders which will ship separately when available The Red Very Soft polymer rib is excellent for finishing rims.The Yellow Soft polymer rib is excellent for smoothing.The Chartreuse Green Medium is excellent for smoothing forms. The Blue Hard polymer rib is excellent for throwing and shaping.All of our Mudtools polymer pottery ribs are made of a unique flexible material that will not develop burrs or cracks under normal use. We’ve found that over time the rib becomes even more polished. Each polymer shape is available in a variety of hardness.Whether you are throwing clay on the wheel, hand building or sculpting, the pottery rib is a classic and essential tool. Because it acts as an extension of the potters own hand, we believe it should function well and be a joy to use. Whatever you want to make, Sherrill Mudtools has got you covered.

Sherrill Mudtools Mudsponge
Natural sponges have been used for years. However, the quality of natural sponges can be unpredictable and there is the issue of environmental pressure on the little guys. Sherrill sponges are made of an environmentally friendly material that is incredibly durable and compressed for economy of space and for the fun of watching them expand when introduced to water. The Mudsponge Blue Workhorse is a great all-purpose pop-up sponge made of an open cell material that is very absorbent. They've shaped it like a potters rib to fit comfortably in the palm of your hand. Dyed with a natural pigment, the color will fade with use. The Mudsponge Orange Most Absorbent pop up sponge is the perfect throwing sponge. More absorbent than the Mudsponge White Finishing and the Mudsponge Blue Workhorse, it is the sponge Michael uses for throwing. The Mudsponge White Finishing is pop up sponge made with a tight-cell material and is less absorbent than the Mudsponge Blue Workhorse. It is excellent for finishing work, final detail and clean-up of surfaces and won’t pull out grog or other materials in the clay body. Think of it like a chamois sponge.

These efforts have all combined into the elegant versatile pottery tool you see here.
