Speedball Pottery Wheels Offer The Same High-Quality Performance Of Other Wheels At An Exceptional Value.
Speedball’s Line of Ceramics Products Is The Ultimate Combination Of Performance And Value.
Artista Potter's Wheel: Combining convenience with quality, power and capacity, the Artista Potter’s Wheel has it all! This lightweight wheel’s compact construction makes it portable and easy to store. Artista’s 25lb centering capacity makes it a great fit for any studio or classroom. With an 11” wheel head, 1/3 HP motor that runs smoothly with very little noise, variable speed hand control (0-220 rpm) and a two-part splash pan (included), the Artista leaves little to desire in performance, quality and value. For artists who want to move from the tabletop to the floor, static or folding legs can also be added, and for artists who prefer, the Artista can easily be converted from hand-operated to foot-powered with our plug-in foot pedal.
Clay Boss Wheel: With a .5 HP industrial motor and 100lb centering capacity, Clay Boss has quickly become one of the most popular wheels on the market today. The Clay Boss features a polyethylene tabletop and two-part splash pan for easy cleanup, 14” wheel head and foot pedal with smooth, variable speed control (0-240 rpm). Its reversing plug allows for quick and easy changes of wheel direction, and its sophisticated load-sensing control ensures that the wheel head speed is maintained under changing loads.
Big Boss Wheel: Ideal of potters working with large form, Big Boss features a 1.0 peak HP rated industrial motor that runs quietly as it handles up to 175lbs of clay. Its 14” wheel head with variable speed control (0-240 rpm) remains smooth and constant under varying loads, and the Boss’ reversing plus allows for quick changes to wheel head direction. For even greater ease of use, Big Boss contains adjustable glide feet to allow for changes in wheel height or leveling on uneven floors. Also includes foot pedal and two-part splash pan.
Big Boss Elite SQ Wheel: Provides artists with the same quality performance offered by the Big Boss, but also includes a convenient polyethylene utility shelf that can be adjusted to two positions.

What a great price for such a powerful, light weight, and reliable wheel.This wheel is small, yet full of power. With the plastic bats off it fits inside a plastic storage box measuring 26in long x 16in wide x 12 in tall. We store other tools and bats in the box with it. Additionally, we use plastic storage containers that are tall enough (17in tall) to put the lid back on and use as a stand for the wheel itself. There are legs that can be purchased for the wheel, but I prefer to use storage containers for a base as they then can be used to store the tools and wheel as well. A very portable and easily stored wheel.The price is right for a hobbyist. You won't need to sell a lot of artwork to justify the expense of this wheel.The can be connected to the wheel. However, the knob on the wheel works great to control the speed of the wheel. This wheel can move very slowly, or quite fast. It is great for a beginner or advanced artist.This wheel cleans up very easily. All the surfaces that come in contact with clay or water are easy to clean with a rag, and the trays pull off the wheel to be washed quickly.After purchasing the first one I immediately bought a second Artista Wheel and I will be purchasing more of them to use when teaching pottery to students.

UPDATE July 2016: We've had this pottery wheel for a few years now and would still give it five stars with no hesitation at all! Here are a few key points we've found from using this wheel: - We've kept it outside under an umbrella and made a very light effort to cover the motor with plastic when not in use (but the plastic often blows off) - the wheel still works like new despite being exposed to the weather like this. - Kim has actually grown to prefer the speed dial as compared to the typical foot pedal. She is able to keep a steady constant speed more easily and she doesn't find it difficult to change speeds when she wants to. - It is very important that it be kept level. A more permanent larger wheel automatically kind of stays put, where the portability of this wheel be definition makes it move a little more easily so it can get bumped out of place when not in use, so if she hasn't used it in awhile we take a minute to level it up using some simple wood shims under one or two of the rubber feet. Takes just a second.-------- Original Review Below -------I bought this for my wife Kim @EverythingEtsy and she loves it! It's so nice because we live in a tiny house and there really isn't anywhere to keep a full-size wheel set-up. She's able to slide this into an out of the way spot when not in use.When it is in use, she sets up outside so she can throw in the beautiful sunshine under the palm trees... hard to beat. And easy to clean up outside.She'll have to come back and edit my review to tell you how much she can throw on it, but essentially she's found it to work almost as well as the commercial grade wheels at the local pottery studio. It didn't take long for her to get used to the knob dial (rather than foot pedal) and she may even like it better.

If you throw for personal enjoyment and satisfaction this wheel is perfect. It’s sturdy, easy to clean and very portable. I can use it at my kitchen counter or on a bench outside on a sunny day. I love this wheel and it is absolutely worth the money. Don’t bother buying the separate legs or foot pedal, you won’t need them. You will need a sturdy surface to set it on, though.

Product did not work. It was not like new. Already had dried clay on it and abrasions from use. Packaging was very damaged. Took 14 days for it to arrive. I would not recommend.Returning with the damaged packaging was an ordeal.

Hello,I just bought this wheel couple of months ago. The wheel stopped spinning couple of times during one of the classess. I just needed to spin it once or twice manually and then it started working. Not sure why is this. It did not happen again.Another thing is that the bat is not very flat. So every time students are trimming or centering they have some issues with that.I am wondering if anyone has been throwing directly on the wheel or do you need to use the bay. When I tried the sky did the seen to stick on the wheel, so I have been using bat for all work on the wheel.Thanx

This is a great wheel. Powerful, reliable, and portable. NOTE: The glazes shown in the pictures DO NOT come with this wheel despite the appearance that they would. Also, I recommend getting the separate foot pedal. It's worth the price!

I love everything about this wheel. Although one of the plastic cups came cracked I think it was the lame delivery guy who just heaved it onto my door step without considering what was in the box was equivalent to his two week salary. (Dixkhead) and had a HUGE black lettering that said fragile this side up. I think I was very lucky it didn't break completely.
