Will you send the correct power supply with my order or do I need to buy an adaptor?
Yes, we have adaptors for the UK, USA & Canada, Australia & New Zealand, and Europe. We will send out the correct power adaptor for your country based on your shipping address. If you'd prefer a different adapter as you plan to use it elsewhere, send us a message once you've made your purchase.
How many batts do you get with the wheel?
For the Lite wheel, one batt is included. If you'd like to purchase more, you can do so here.
Will you make it in other colours?
Right now our Lite wheel is available in Forest Green, Cyan, Ochre and Pink. If you have another colour in mind, we also offer custom colours for an additional £20. Just send over a photo or colour sample and we will do our best to match it for you.
How much clay can I throw on the Small Pottery Wheel?
Our Lite wheel can comfortably handle 500g, or up to 1kg if you're an experience thrower. They are designed for throwing smaller shapes and functional ware, so any more than this might damage the motor!
What kind of clay can I use on the Small Pottery Wheel?
You can use any type of clay! For beginners who don't have access to a kiln, try using air drying clay, and for those wanted to use regular clay I would reccommed porcelain for its softness and its final appearance!
Are there any updates on the Pro wheel?
You can find all updates and FAQs around development and timelines here, and we will continue to update this regularly.
