DESCRIPTION
This solid pottery wheel is constructed of stone discs and 2 discs of plywood with balls in between to ensure that the upper disc rotates easily and lightly. There are four rubber pads under the lower disc to set it securely on the table.
This is an old fashioned, non-motorized, 5lb (7.9“) or 6lb (11.8”) wheel that must be continuously spun and respun by hand. It works best with a coiling technique or finishing up a clay piece. It is a lovely piece for the artist looking to utilize older methods for the sake of nostalgia or experience in the older ways.
Available in two sizes (7.9 or 11.8 inches).
Not recommended for children under age 15 years unless they’ve had extensive experience with this type of wheel as it does need to be continuously spun and respun by hand.
