Cradle

$8.98

A deep, unbroken curve that cradles the clay into a soft rounded bowl, full in the belly and easing gently inward at the rim. The single bevelled edge rides the wall in one clean pass, leaving a continuous interior with no ridges to interrupt it. Cast in plant-based plastic with finger holes that keep your grip sure while your other hand steadies the wheel. Made for everyday serving bowls, cereal bowls, and deep rounded forms. One smooth profile, endlessly useful.

How to use

Designed for gripThe cut-out holes are for your fingers. Hook a finger or thumb through one or two of them for a secure hold, even when your hands are slick with slip.

Find the right angleHold the rib at a low angle against the clay and let the shaped edge do the work. Light, steady pressure smooths walls and pulls profiles into shape without gouging.

Rinse and goRinse off slip and clay residue under the tap and wipe dry. A soft brush helps lift dried clay out of the finger holes.

Cool water onlyStick to cool or lukewarm water. Hot water and dishwashers can soften the material and dull the profile over time.

Store out of direct sunlightKeep ribs in your tool drawer or a shaded shelf. Prolonged UV exposure can slowly weaken plant-based plastic.

Treat the edge gentlyThe shaped edge is what does the work. Avoid dropping the rib onto hard surfaces or stacking heavy tools on top of it — a chipped edge will leave streaks on your pots.
