Circles and arcs are some of the most fluid and beautiful designs you can add to your ceramic work. But even with a clear vision and steady hand, it can be difficult to create a single perfect curved line, much less repeat your design around a three-dimensional piece.

Now you can easily carve arcs and circles — again and again — with this innovative tool from our research and design team! Our uniquely designed Arc Carving Metal Rib is the ultimate tool for creating symmetrical arcs on rounded surfaces with DiamondCore’s clay carvers. Once you use this stencil rib, you’ll wonder how you carved intricate, curved patterns without it!
