Rent a pottery wheel

& try pottery at home

Hello!

Welcome to potter&dabble! We love helping people spend more time with clay.

Our range of premium Nidec Shimpo pottery wheels are available to rent in Auckland for home use - perfect for practicing pottery between classes, exploring pottery at home, working on your own projects or simply spending a little more time with clay.  

Try it for a week, a month, or as long as you like. Pickup is from our depot in Dairy Flat Auckland, or we can deliver to your door.

Alongside wheel rentals, we also offer private studio sessions and community pottery experiences for retirement villages and community groups throughout Auckland.

If you're not sure what might suit, we'd love to chat.

Such friendly service & great communication

I hired a pottery wheel for 4 weeks and ended up extending to 6 weeks because I was enjoying it so much! Such friendly service, great communication and Louise even helped setting me up! Can't recommend enough, will definitely use again!

ClaireAuckland

Thoroughly enjoyed the experience

I hired a wheel from Potter and Dabble for 4 weeks and thoroughly enjoyed the experience! Communications were efficient and friendly and the wheel was well maintained and ran smoothly. Louise had thoughtfully provided instructions and a tub with items for cleaning up. Would highly recommend to anyone who is looking to hire a quality wheel either short or long term

I would definitely hire from Louise again

I hired a pottery wheel for two weeks from Potter&Dabble. The process was simple with very good communication. Collection was easy and returning the wheel just as easy.
Having the opportunity to be able to practise at home to compliment the course I am attending one evening a week was so valuable. I gained confidence and was able to learn from my mistakes. I could fit a few hours in most days and really enjoyed being able to make a few okay pieces.
I highly recommend Potter&Dabble to anyone who has done a beginner pottery wheel throwing course. I most definitely will hire from Louise again.

The pottery equipment was excellent to work with

We had a great experience with both private lessons and a wheel rental. Louise was a delight to work with and her wheel and other equipment were excellent to work with! Highly recommend!
