Hey! My name is Louise. Welcome to my pottery wheel rental business—potter&dabble!

potter: a person who makes pottery

dabble: to work at something in an irregular manner, or to play and splash in water using your hands

potter&dabble was created out of my own need to rent a pottery wheel. There were so many times when I couldn’t make it to my pottery class, and my projects would sit dormant on the shelves for weeks (actually, they still do… haha). Then, school holidays would come around, and classes wouldn’t be available. I’d feel inspired but couldn’t fit my schedule around the available studio days.

When I considered purchasing my first pottery wheel, I struggled to find space to store it when it wasn’t in use, and the idea of spending a significant amount on my ‘hobby’ was hard to justify. That’s when I started looking into renting a pottery wheel instead.

One of the things I love—and never realized was so important—is being able to set up my own pottery wheel environment. Being able to adjust not only the legs of the pottery wheel and potter's stool to suit my height but also tweak the sensitivity of the foot pedal has been a game-changer. This allows me to keep a consistent speed while ‘pulling,’ which is something I’ve always struggled with.

I’m currently at around 250 hours on the wheel, thanks to the awesome and amazing pottery class I attend 😊. I’ve noticed though, that my progress on the wheel has dramatically improved by spending just a couple of extra hours each week practicing at home—whether it’s trimming, trying out a new clay, or redoing a project we tried in class.

Feel free to get in touch to see how renting a pottery wheel could work for you.
