NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC Hobby Pottery Wheel Kit - 8" Variable Speed Pottery Wheel for Adults & Teens with Innovative Arm Tool, 3 Lb Air Dry Clay & Art Supplies, Crafts for Adults, Craft Kits for Teenagers

This is great! Sturdy, works perfect, would define recommend to anyone! Great for beginners! My son and I use it!

It is a nice pottery wheel for beginners.

So far so good, my grandkids love it, it seems to be very sturdy and well made.

I purchased this wheel as an adult with only a few months of pottery experience. While I don’t have extensive knowledge to compare it to other wheels, it has worked well for my needs so far. It’s great for creating small to mid-sized plates and bowls.I don't use the arm attachment since my fingers work well to create depth. The included tools (including a sponge) are low quality, better suited for children’s projects or air-dry clays, and not comparable to authentic pottery tools (giving 4-star ratings instead of 5 for that reason). The wheel comfortably handles up to 700-800g (1.5-1.7 lbs) of clay; more than that becomes difficult to center and manage.Overall, it’s been a solid choice for my beginner-level projects.

Unfortuately I was disappointed with this wheel. I was unable to throw properly because the wheel rotates off center and fluctuates up and down. My pots suffered as it threw off the balance. I tried to adjust it but, it does not allow for adjustments. This is listed as for adults but it is more suitable for children and those who just want to play around with clay.

Muy práctico y funcional pues se coloca en cualquier mesa y se guarda fácilmente

Unfortunately I had to return it, just about broke my heart because I'm an old artist that has worked with clay many years ago and thought this would be fun to try again, however, through the years my hands have a lot of arthritis, and it is very painful--I can only imagine how much fun it would be, when I looked in the box could see so many pieces to use and work with. If your hands are strong, go for it, you will love it.

Piece of junk!!! Poorly packed. Broken and missing pieces. I will never purchase from National Geographic again. What a rip off.
