Me and my neighbor started pottery classes a half year ago. Going to class once a week does not fulfill are craving to do pottery. We love it so much and would like to do pottery at home and because we live side by side we would share this amazing beginners wheel. End result is two happy followers that love to watch your video’s and learn so much about pottery and everything that comes with it.

I’m in Australia & have just started pottery after years of collecting it and dreaming of making some pieces!!! I am obsessed with making mugs & candle holders and I would be beyond grateful and honoured to win this give away!!! Thank you for sharing what you do xx

[loralaihope]

I have gotten into pottery in the last year and having a wheel at home would be a game changer for me. I love it so much, but there are few (to none) accessible open studio spaces in my area. I would use this wheel to make my first drop of accessible mugs! I want to make pottery usable for anyone, regardless of their mobility. I love your channel! Thanks for what you make 💛

[PasiMater]

Wow! Ok, now I need this wheel to FINALLY start pottering! It's been on my mind for two years, I'm watching other people on YT doing pottery, supporting local potters by buying their cups and I think it's my time to try and do my own cups :)

[Tayu]

I FINALLY started pottery this year after a decade of watching people doing it and feeling like I wouldn’t be any good at it and I’m in LOVE ! Thank you for your content that finally made me jump to the other side 🤩🥰
I would make my first collection on this wheel 💪💪

Thank you for doing this review I have been looking for a beginner wheel to start throwing at home! I make bowls plates cups and vases for school and to sell at local farmers markets and can’t wait to find a decent priced kiln as well!!! Thank you so much!

As someone who started pottery this year after longing to do it for a long time, and is slowly progressing through air clay, with hopes of mastering the wheel and kiln in the future, I appreciate videos like these. They offer a potentially more affordable entry into wheel throwing compared to, for example, spending $1500. I hope to create ceramics for myself, my family, friends, and hopefully others, sharing a part of my character and history through them. Thanks for your lovely videos! I always enjoy them :)

My daughter (10) and i have just started pottery and she would absolutely go mental if we were lucky enough to be chosen.

Your videos have been extremely helpful for us all the way over here in Australia!

We would make a nice vase for flowers for her Nanna and then just ALL the bowls!

[Ellethink]

This review is what i've been waiting for thank you! I've had to give up a career in midwifery due to a disability from birth meaning I can no longer walk the wards. I've had a lifelong dream of creating ceramics so I think now is finally the time :) My disability was a result of arriving into the world at just 25 weeks. I dream of making night lights for the mum and preemie special care room as both enjoy important cuddles. Memory boxes for babies who left us too soon. And very importantly mugs for midwife coffee breaks as a reminder they're doing amazing work. ❤
I'm learning so much thank you again for your generous spirit in sharing through your videos.

[JayPlazma]

I will absolutely make many, many mugs, bowls, and lots of vases as my fiancé and I tend to keep a lot of live flowers. I will absolutely pick this up when I can afford it! Thank you for the video!

[susystone]

Thank you for this review, throwing clay at home seemed unimaginable, I didn’t know there was a wheel this financially accessible.

I’m starting my first lessons next month, after two workshops (and a year waiting list) I know that working with clay makes me happy. I’m suffering from depression and creative block for a while now and desperately need to find my way back to making and creating.

[reneepalermo]

Great review! I would really love this so my 13 year-old daughter could throw with me. She is going to start doing kid’s craft fairs at the end of the month and wants to make trinket dishes, soap dishes, mugs and bowls, ring/jewelry holders. ❤

[greenlife]

I would love to make a set of beautifully crafted ceramic dinnerware, including plates, bowls and mugs. Each piece would be unique yet cohesive, adding a touch of handmade charm to every meal.

My wife has gotten into pottery again, what a great hobby. It's been a great change in her ability to leave work behind and relax. We have started to build a small at-home studio and do not yet have a wheel - it would be great to start with something small like this! Great content! keep it up!

[DavidCamnitzer-ngrz]

I'm from Switzerland, but I've been staying with my boyfriend in Lisbon for the last few months. So I've had a lot of time and have finally realized my long-held dream: pottery. I worked for many hours every day in a small studio and found so much joy in it. Yesterday I drove 36 hours home and transported entire backpacks full of bowls, cups and jugs by long-distance bus. :) I would be really happy about the wheel, because my roommate and I have decided to set up a cozy mini studio in our small winter garden here in Bern. So it would be perfect. ♥️

[annabelle]

I’m so excited that such an affordable wheel works so well!! What a great option for people starting out :) and I honestly love watching your videos reviewing more affordable wheels, because so many people really like pottery and ceramics and just have no idea where to start ): I feel like you make it really accessible!

[amedel]

I got this exact wheel and I can recommend it as a great budget wheel for beginners, I’ve had it for about a year now, I was afraid it wouldn’t last long, but so far it has. Also what I did to raise it to a nice height before I built a proper structure for it was use the styrofoam block that comes with it.

[sarahtermite]

It looks like it would be great on a table - I’ve discovered I prefer throwing standing up! And I’ve also recently discovered the joys of using a rib to shape the inside of a bowl. So I’d be doing lots of that!

[charleshenderson]

That's awesome that you're willing to give it away. Since I've only taken a single class I would use it to just work on technique and consistency. When I start to gain some skills, I plan on making at least one ramen bowl and planters of several sizes.
