Pottery Wheel

This sturdy solid metal pottery wheel is an ideal addition to any classroom art space, offering students a stable, rotating platform to shape and mould clay creations. Designed for easy manual operation, the wheel spins smoothly with a hand push, allowing learners to work from various angles while developing their fine motor skills and artistic expression. Its generous surface area can support large amounts of clay, and it also doubles as a drying platform for finished projects, helping to keep the creative area tidy and organised.

The durable construction is built to endure repeated classroom use and is simple to maintain-just remove excess material and wipe clean with a damp cloth. Suitable for use with both clay and dough, the wheel promotes independent play as well as opportunities for group collaboration, making it a valuable tool in fostering teamwork and creativity among young learners.
