Intro to pottery ribs for beginners

[@dharmamama4451]

Thank you! "Anything is a rib" is so true. Nothing fancy, just use what you have. That's an artists life.

[@emerymorgan4389]

Thank you for this video! So informative for someone like me who is a beginner potter and doesn’t really know where to start for tools!

[@debbiesmith297]

You are just the best! My husband is watching with me now when Dante is on! He agrees you are the best teacher I have! And I take lessons at the local pottery studio! Thank you a million times!

Damn 😅

Rubber ribs are great for working with groggy clay. They push the hard bits into the clay body while throwing, and can even be used as a burnishing tool in the trimming stage.

The card style hotel keys are great for customizing into a rib.They have a little bit of give, but they are not as bendable as the metal ones.

The cheapest and highly customizable rib...Credit Cards

[@BendviewFarm-dq4sp]

Or hotel room key cards that you forget to take to front desk

Loved the video. I have had several ribs wood, plastic and metal that I never used. Didn’t know anything about them till your video. Thank you so much!

[@AudreyLynnStudios]

Love the Old Head Potter tips! Thanks!

Loved your video. Very informative and yes no tutor goes over the different types of ribs and their usage. Thank you for sharing.

[@joannwilson8263]

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Simple basic info that is not really taught very well, I get it now!

[@Natalieleu]

Great video, and yes, anything can be a rib.

[@jennylynne225]

My favorite video I've seen yet....your mom. You two were so funny. I would have absolutely paid $19.99 for her creation.

[@PaulByrne-ev2zm]

Well said!

[@karendrew9779]

But what are the subtle rib like patterns found on thrown pottery actually called?

[@tuchiramirez5038]

Hello Dante I love watching your videos, fun and very useful! Thank you! I have been searching in your videos, the little pieces you use to make the samples of your glazes, but can't find them. I find them super useful... can you help me, please? Thank you! Tuchi Ramirez

[@morbek1]

About that clay body?

[@jennyscribani9492]

Thank you Dante! This is great and I appreciate you answering my random Instagram message😊

[@connecticutaggie]

BTW, what about the serrated edge metal ribs that you can use for scoring?

[@EarthNationCeramics]

I really wanted to talk about those but then we would have had to go back into the old head Potter territory again. "Just use your pin tool or a fork, it's not even less strokes" Kinda territory. I decided the video was long enough.

[@connecticutaggie]

@@EarthNationCeramics Yea, to your point, you don't really need the extra "fluff". When we got the first starter kit I think it had over 20 metal ribs and I use only one or two of them. I mean wood cost money but thin sheet metal cost pennies, I think you could stack 100 of them into a space of one wooden rib, and of course people will pass over the nice 10 piece set to get the 30 piece set (10 piece with 20 metal ribs).

[@connecticutaggie]

Also, with all the extra metal ribs there is the "but Dante, which one should I use?"

[@gigi3242]

Hey Donte, what happened to the Dirty Potter Challenge 4??? Thanks for the video. Take care, be well

[@realityisneverfiction9895]

Hey Donte fellow novice potter here huge fan love your videos I know this is off subject what glaze combo is the cup you used as a rib it’s absolutely stunning ❤

[@EarthNationCeramics]

I'm pretty sure it's Ron Roy's high gloss black mixed with my Lumos

[@billmiller9145]

Even the McRib?

[@dysonforbes]

ribs come from ribbeisern, a plowing tool.
