How To Make a Traditional Gourd Scraper Pottery Tool

A gourd rib is a traditional pottery tool used in the American Southwest to make coil pottery. In this video I will explain the importance of the gourd rib or "gourd scraper” and then demonstrate how to make your own pottery tool. If you don’t have access to a gourd or don’t want to bother with making your own tools, I do sell these gourd ribs on my website here https://ancientpottery.how/product/gourd-potters-rib-gourd-scraper/

To see how a coil pot is made using a gourd rib check out this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=007fAc5SJLk&t=16s
