An unboxing and review of the newest 14 inch pottery wheel by Vevor and a comparison to the original model. See what I like and some concerns I have.
I recently reviewed the 36cm Pottery Wheel from Vevor in an earlier post. It performed surprisingly well for a wheel that cost just over $200 (Amazon). Vevor has a new version of this wheel with enclosed internals, smaller form factor, and adjustable legs. I thought I would give it a try to see if it would be a better fit for my pottery studio than the original.

I test the Vevor 36cm 450w pottery wheel from Amazon. Pleasantly surprised at what it can do but I have a few small concerns. Great for beginners but will it hold up in the studio?
I saw the 36cm Vevor pottery wheel on Amazon a while ago and was intrigued by the $212 price tag. “Surely, this cheap pottery wheel won’t be able to perform as well as my full size wheel,” I thought to myself.
It cost way less than just about any other “normal” wheel that I was familiar with. But it looked a lot more like a real pottery wheel than those plastic kid’s wheels you get at Walmart that barely center clay.
[Read more…]It’s that time of year… time to start thinking about giving (and getting!) gifts. As a potter, are you always thinking about what can help you make better pots AND help support our pottery community? Here are some pottery gifts you can add to your wish list.
But not just a bunch of stuff you can buy from Amazon! I want to support small businesses and independent makers. And though we would all love to get a pugmill or a fancy new kiln I’ll keep this list closer to the “average gift during uncertain times” price range. But you won’t find any average gifts here!
[Read more…]Another review of the finest clay blogs and the great stuff they posted in February. I’m still devoting most of my time to Expert Clay so this is a minimalist review.
Let’s get right to the blogs!
