All rentals include

• Nidec Shimpo Whisper-T pottery wheel, adjusted to your specific height requirements

• Nidec Shimpo adjustable potters' stool

• A tempered hardboard bat, chamois and cleaning sponge

• A large bucket for transportation and to assist with cleaning

• Installation instructions for the splashpan - useful if you haven't used a Nidec Shimpo wheel before.

We can also provide premium clays, beginner toolsets, and even lino for your floor. Please get in touch via the contact form above for a quote and availability.

We also require a security deposit for the wheel. Stripe will place a pre-authorization of NZ$300 onto your card. The money is just 'on hold'. Once the wheel is returned in accordance with our terms and conditions (same condition as you hired it from us), the money will be released. We do not at any time hold your security deposit or your credit card details.

NB: the security deposit of $300 applies per wheel. So if you rent 2 wheels at the same time, we will place a 2 x $300 hold on your credit card = $600. Happy to discuss a bank transfer if this is easier :)

• As the name suggests, the Whisper-T is super quiet - recording only 30 decibels while in use! Set up your wheel in the kitchen, laundry or bedroom and enjoy without disturbing the household!

• With 5 adjustable leg settings, and the option to remove the legs entirely and place on a table top - you will no longer be hunched over the wheel. Comfort is key!

• We can also adjust the sensitivity of the foot pedal - woohooo!

• This direct drive DC brushless 300w motor with electric speed control motor offers responsiveness, high torque at all speeds and smooth without vibrations.

• 2 piece removable splash pan, makes cleaning super easy.

• An impressive 20kg centering capacity. But really if your throwing this much clay, you should own your own wheel. Great option to rent a wheel before you buy.

• Clockwise and counter clockwise wheelhead.

• Dimensions: The potter wheel is 750mm wide (including removable side tables), 572mm long and height is adjustable from 275mm (table top) to full leg height of 580mm.

• 300mm wheelhead, great size for most creations.

Our Nidec Shimpo Adjustable potters' stool is the perfect match when renting one of our pottery wheels.

The legs are fully adjustable, with 8 height settings, and the option to 'tilt' the stool to relieve pain in the lower back

Yes please 😊

The Pottery Wheel must be cleaned thoroughly during and after each use, and returned clean. This is outlined in detail in our terms and conditions, and a handy cleaning info sheet will be provided at time of rental. 

If you are renting just for an afternoon with friends, and we are picking up directly after the session has finished, we can clean the wheels - $50 per wheel.

Potter&dabble is based in Dairy Flat, Auckland. You are more than welcome to come and pick up your rental. The wheel must be carried by two people. We can provide one person at our end, please ensure you are able to provide either yourself or someone else to help lift the wheel. The wheel must be secured in your car using tie downs straps. Please view full terms and conditions to understand about your obligations during transport and looking after the wheel.

We are also more than happy to deliver the pottery wheel and stool to your property, and also pick up the equipment after the rental period is finished. You can add this into the checkout when booking a wheel if your suburb is listed, or simply place a note in the booking and we will be in touch to quote your delivery.

NB: We are based in Dairy Flat, so set pricing has been worked out from our location in Dairy Flat.

This is outlined fully in the terms and conditions. But in summary, The Renter of the Equipment from potter&dabble, is fully responsible, for any loss, theft or damage (including accidental) that occurs whilst they have possession of the Equipment. This responsibility occurs from the time they have signed the rental form on pickup/delivery to when the pottery wheel is returned/picked up and signed for by a team member at potter&dabble.

Drinks and food must not be consumed while on the pottery wheel. 

At the moment we are unable to offer firing services. However, we are looking into the possibility. Watch this space!
