First Potter's Wheel
Little potters can design unique creations with this Pottery Wheel. It’s 2-speed, 2-direction and cylinder shape allows for greater control of the clay at various skill levels and can be used by a child who is either right- or left-handed (or both!).

We increased the motor strength to make it more professional. The 2-speeds allow for a faster molding speed and a slower more detailed speed.

The adjustable arm and detail tools will help kids with shaping the air-dry clay into pots, vases, jewelry holders and other great masterpieces.

Includes detailed instructions on how to start.
Can use AC adapter or 4 D batteries.

For ages 8 and up.

Includes:
• 2 lbs. of clay,
• 3 Shaping tools
• 6 paint pots
• 2 paintbrushes
• Sponge
• Foot pedal
• AC adapter.


Size
13"L x 12"W x 9"H

      Comments about First Potter's Wheel:

      Our 9 year old daughter was really interested in this until she used it. It was hard to use, even with parental help. I recommend taking a class at your community center with a solid, professional potters' wheel.

        Comments about First Potter's Wheel:

        Gave this as a gift to my two young grandchildren. Their mother is always looking for craft projects for the kids to make. They really did enjoy working with their firstpottery wheel. It's a great, fun project for parents to work with their children. I'm glad I found this as a Christmas present.

          Comments about First Potter's Wheel:

          The wheel's quality is fairly good (a lot of plastic pieces). It was easy to use and my kids loved getting their hands in the clay. Great for a creative child to express 3-D art. It was a gift for my 7 yo but my 9 and 3 yo also use it.
          Buy the extra clay!

            My daughter was so excited to make a vase. I told her that her first project might not come out how she wanted it to until she gets used to working with the clay and learns how to use the wheel. Well . . . it came out exactly how she wanted it to and she had a blast making it. Her masterpiece sits on the kitchen table and she can't wait to make another!
