We have Nidec Shimpo Whisper-T and RK-55 pottery wheels, along with adjustable potters’ stools, available to rent for a week, or for as many weeks as you like. We now offer pricing tiers - so the longer you rent for, the cheaper your weekly rental becomes.

Our wheels are perfect for potters wanting to create at home — whether you’re practicing, producing, or simply enjoying more time at the wheel Choose from two of the Nidec Shimpo models now available. The Whisper-T offers adjustable leg heights, stability when working with larger pieces of clay, and is super quiet. The RK-55 is lightweight, ideal if you need to move the wheel yourself at home, or if you’re just starting out and throwing small pieces
