The Small Pottery Wheel is here

Just starting out and don’t have the budget for a full size wheel? The Small Pottery Wheel could be just what you’re looking for! This tiny but mighty wheel does it all - it has incredibly strong torque, removable batts so that you can throw continuously without having to wait for your pot to dry or remove it with wire, a removable tray for easy cleaning, variable speeds and it can spin in both directions, and best of all it comes in different colours.
