Vevor Pottery Wheel Review: 4 Things I Love

August 4, 2023 by Brandon "Fuzzy" Schwartz 2 Comments

Vevor pottery wheel full review: Reaction to my first cheap pottery wheel

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?

Testing a Cheap Pottery Wheel

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.

Clay Blog Review: January 2018

February 26, 2018 by Brandon "Fuzzy" Schwartz 2 Comments

Happy New Year! Wait, what? It’s almost March?!

Okay, I’m a little late with the Clay Blog Review. Actually, I’ve had thoughts of putting it on hold temporarily. I’ve been busy working on the new site over at expertclay.com. If you haven’t seen it yet, go check it out. There are big things planned. Perhaps the CBR will come out less frequently, or maybe not at all for a while. Or maybe I’ll just offer a trimmed down version. We’ll see. Thanks to everyone who follows along and the bloggers who share so much on their blogs. I hope 2018 brings you what you want.

Who had the top pottery blogs of the past year? Check this list to find out if your favorite blog made it!

Top Pottery Blogs of 2017

Every month I scan as many blogs about pottery and ceramics as I can find. I put all the best stuff I find each month in a list called the Clay Blog Review. The list below shows the 17 blogs that were mentioned the most in the Clay Blog Review (CBR) during 2017. Pottery bloggers have shared so much great content this year that I needed THREE posts to share all their best tips. (Find them here: 12 Tips for Making Pots, 13 Decorating Tips, 18 MORE Pottery Tips.)
