Wheel Rental

$275.00

PREREQUISITE: You must have a foundation in wheel throwing and be comfortable working independently in order to rent a wheel. 

With our Wheel Rental package we will provide everything you need to set up your own home-studio on a monthly basis. 

What's included: 

    • Rental of 1 x Shimpo pottery wheel on for a two-month term. 
    • 1 box of PSH 910 porcelain clay (50 lbs). Option to purchase one additional bag of clay per month at $65/bag including firing and glazing costs. 
    • 1 set of sample-size underglazes (5 colours).
    • All firing costs.
    • Personal tool kit.

How it works:

  • You PICK UP your wheel from the studio and return it when you are done. The wheels are small enough to transport in the trunk of a car. Two people are needed to move them (weight: 120lbs). (*Delivery is not available).
  • You throw, trim, and decorate your work (using the underglaze provided) in your home studio.
  • You bring your finished work back to the studio for firing.  
  • You return to the studio (Saturdays by appointment) to glaze your work. 

What you need at home:

  • A stool or chair (standard height)
  • A bowl for water
  • Table or counter surface for wedging clay (a kitchen counter works great!).
  • A personal tool kit: available at the studio at a cost of $25.

* The wheel rental package is intended to support practice and technical development. It is not intended for large scale production.  

    * The rental of the lathe encourages the practice and the improvement of the technique and not the production of objects in series. Cracked pieces will not be fired.
