Pottery Wheel FAQs
What is the best pottery wheel for beginners?
Top beginner wheels include the Speedball Artista, Shimpo Aspire, and Brent Model B. These wheels are easy to use, reliable, and offer great value.
Should I choose an electric or kick pottery wheel?
Electric wheels offer better control and are ideal for most users. Kick wheels provide a more traditional, quiet experience but require more effort and space.
Do you offer pottery wheels with bats and tools?
Yes! Many of our pottery wheel kits include bats, stools, splash pans, and tool sets. Perfect for home studios and classrooms.
What is a banding wheel used for in pottery?
A banding wheel is a rotating platform used for decorating pottery. It helps potters apply even lines, patterns, and glazes by spinning the piece while working on it. It’s ideal for hand-painting, trimming, and detail work.
Which is better: Brent or Shimpo pottery wheel?
Both Brent and Shimpo pottery wheels are trusted brands. Brent wheels are known for their durability and studio performance, while Shimpo models like the VL Whisper offer quiet operation and advanced motor control. Choose based on workspace, budget, and usage needs.
Can I use a pottery wheel at home?
Yes, many compact electric pottery wheels are perfect for home use. Look for tabletop models like the Speedball Artista or Shimpo Aspire. They're space-saving, quiet, and beginner-friendly.
What is the difference between a pottery wheel and a throwing wheel?
There’s no major difference—both terms are often used interchangeably. A throwing wheel refers specifically to using the wheel to shape clay, while a pottery wheel can be used for throwing, trimming, or sculpting.
What are the best pottery wheels for adults?
For adult beginners or hobbyists, the Speedball Artista and Shimpo VL Lite are great choices. Professionals often prefer models like Brent CXC, Pacifica GT400, or Shimpo VL Whisper for their power and durability.
How much does a pottery wheel cost?
Pottery wheels range from around $300 for beginner models to over $1,500 for studio-grade wheels. Brands like Brent, Shimpo, and Speedball offer a variety of options across that range.
Do you sell used pottery wheels?
While most of our wheels are brand new with warranties, we occasionally offer used or refurbished pottery wheels at discounted prices. Check back or contact us for availability.
