Great news! We no longer take security deposits for our rentals, making it even easier for our renters to rent a pottery wheel 

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.

• 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

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. 

In particular:

The Wheelhead: We ask that the wheelhead is kept dry and clean while not in use. The wheelhead should be cleaned every day, at the end of your pottery session. Normal wear and tear of the wheelhead is fine. Minor water staining, and minor tool scratching is acceptable.  A bat and chamois is provided to reduce this damage and to keep our wheelheads nice and shiny for all renters :) If you wish to use sharp tools against the wheelhead, please use the provided bat

The splashpan: like the wheelhead, needs to be cleaned at the end of each pottery session, by removing the slip and water, and then by taking the splashpan apart and cleaning it. 

Yes! We ask that you have either completed or in the process of completing a beginner’s course using a pottery wheel. There are some amazing classes available throughout the Auckland area. If you are a total beginner and are desperate to rent a wheel, please get in touch at [email protected]. We are able to offer a one-off introduction one-on-one session in our studio for $80, based in Dairy Flat. Bookings essential

Click and collect is by appointment only. Our set hours are:

Tuesday 10am - 2pm

Wednesday 10am - 2pm

Thursday 10am - 2pm

Friday 10am - 8pm

Sunday 6pm - 8pm

We are closed Mondays and Saturdays

If you would prefer to pickup outside of these hours, please get in touch, we are happy to make it work if we can [email protected]

PICKUP: potter&dabble is based in Dairy Flat, Auckland. You are more than welcome to come and pick up your rental. Carrying the pottery wheel is a 2-person lift. 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. If you are unable to, just let us know in the checkout notes, as we can help, it just that your pickup time may need to slightly change to ensure we have 2 people at this end.

The wheel must be secured in your car using the provided tie downs straps (or bring your own). 4 tie down straps are included with every wheel. Failure to secure the wheel in your vehicle is in breach of our terms

Please view full terms and conditions to understand about your obligations during transport and looking after the wheel.

DELIVERY: 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 as an option for us to quote on at checkout

The pottery wheel weights 45kgs, and needs to be carried by 2 people. We ask that someone assists us in carrying the wheel from the vehicle into your home. If this isn't possible, or you need us to carry it upstairs or through tight areas please let us know as we can quote and organise for an additional resource to come with us.

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.

For example, if you throw clay directly on the wheelhead and don't remove it for days or even weeks, the clay over time will start to damage the wheelhead. We will charge a $50 cleaning fee when the wheel is return - this is a 30min labour charge. If it appears the damage done to the wheelhead will takes longer than 1.5hrs to repair, the cost of a new wheelhead of $150 will be charged. This will be discussed with the renter, and $150 will taken off your security deposit.

We ask that the wheelhead is kept dry and clean while not in use. The wheelhead should be cleaned every day, at the end of your pottery session. Normal wear and tear of the wheelhead is fine. Minor water staining, and tool scratching is acceptable.  A bat and chamois is provided to reduce this damage and to keep our wheelheads nice and shiny for all renters :)

By removing the white splashpan and white side tables for transport the specifications of the pottery wheel is 52cm wide x 55cm deep and approx 60cm high (depends on the height requested to set the pottery wheel to). 

The pottery wheel needs to be secured through the use of tie down straps. Please provide your own if you have them at home, or let us know at time of booking as we have some available.

Fully operational and setup with splashpan and side tables, the pottery wheel specs are 80cm wide x 1m deep x 60cm high. This allow room for both the wheel and stool. The wheel plugs into your home's standard AC outlet, and needs 5A to run. Standard household circuits are 10A.

Yes, you can rent a pottery wheel if you live outside of Auckland! However, rentals are strictly pick-up and drop-off only from our studio in Dairy Flat—delivery is not available.

Additionally, you must have a backup plan in place to return the wheel at the end of your rental period in case you are unable to do so yourself (e.g., due to injury or unforeseen circumstances).

Proof of address, vehicle rego and copy of drivers license are required at time of pickup. 

Simply select your booking dates and pickup time below. You can book in weekly increments.

To activate the 4th week for free, you must select 4 or more weeks. A week is based on 7 x 24 hour periods eg: Pickup Friday at 10am and return it on or before the following Friday at 10am. NB: if you choose a return time after 10am Friday, you will be charged an extra week.
