How To Use A Pottery Wheel In fact, it’s best to throw with the wheel turning in whatever direction feels most natural to you. Setting the wheel up is very simple, literally take it from the box, place on the floor, fit the splash pan, sorted!The Vevor served me very well as a pottery wheel for beginners. I learned a lot and on my first wheel. But like most first loves, that relationship has come to an end. It soon became apparent that if I wanted to make a few things in one sitting without the risk of misshaping what I had made whilst taking it off the wheel, then I would need to use bats.

Since writing this review I have had quite a lot of negative and positive responses to this wheel. Some people have had the wheel for over 12 months and all is still well (the student that brought the wheel in to show me has had it for two years now. She recently sent me photos of the studs she has put into the wheel head to take wooden bats). Some people found the wheel only lasted a few weeks before breaking. One lady said the wheel stopped working after one day (she was reimbursed her money). One person said the wheel worked fine until they tried to centre a 5lb ball of clay on it, this apparently finished it off. Vevor pottery wheel review – throwing a vase An example would be a local pottery studio where they hold classes. Often they will let students and locals visit the studio and use their wheels for a small fee. Here is what I love about the Shimpo VL Whisper and why I think it’s a good pottery wheel for beginners…This is handy as it helps you avoid having to lift the pot off the wheel head when the clay is still soft and wet. Tip 5) Look Out for Bat Pins It has a good-sized wheel head at 11”, so you can throw larger pieces. I bought this model for my daughter and she isn’t nuts about letting me use it. However, I have used this pottery wheel to throw some nice pieces when she lets me. It’s a perfectly good wheel for adults too. Personally, I just threw directly onto the wheel head. This is what I was taught to do by my ceramics teacher. And even after using bats for some time, now, I prefer to throw directly onto the wheelhead. The pedal is sensitive and it’s easy to control the speed of the wheel. I’ve used wheels before where the speed of the wheel head will suddenly leap up with small pressure on the pedal. But the speed of the Brent C is smooth and gradual.
