- Watch me demonstrate how I throw tiny pots on this miniature pottery wheel. This wheel is perfect especially for beginners who just want to test the waters throwing pottery because pottery can be a very expensive hobby.
It's also the perfect solution when you want to throw tiny pots on the wheel but don't want to clean up a large wheel mess for tiny pots. So it saves time and energy.
There is a slight learning curve involved, but that goes for any pottery wheel.
This Yofuly Mini Pottery Wheel was $49.99 and came with a set of artist brushes and complete beginner basic tool set.
All links are provided below.
About the clay I use: For this particular video I was using a high fire earthenware clay which I bisque fire in my kiln at cone 05 and after glazing fire at cone 5 for the final fire.
If you don't have a kiln or have access to one you can certainly use an air dry clay. Air dry clay throws much like porcelain clay and there can be a learning curved involved, but that is also true of most clays when you are just beginning. Be aware that you won't be using glazes on your air dry clay but can use acrylic paints to paint your pots after the clay has dried a bit. It's probably easier to dry the piece on the wheel with a heat gun or I simply use a butane lighter to dry my piece on the wheel.

Those are adorable I absolutely love pottery, but there's no way that I could make it even though you make it look easy. I really enjoyed watching you make it. Thanks and God bless 🙏
If you practiced enough, I promise you could. How do you think I learned? I’ve been throwing pottery for about 4 years now and still consider myself a novice, but for some reason I make tiny pots better than large pots! Thanks for watching and leaving such a kind comment. Be well & blessed.
I really enjoy your videos, you have a new subscriber!!
I loved that demonstration. It was so helpful, and I'm going to use some of your techniques when I throw on my mini wheel. I struggle the most with getting the rim and edges smooth. It looks great when it's spinning, and then I turn it off and the edges look awful 😂
I've been there Amy. I have the same problem sometimes. Making mini pots isn't easy, but I love making them and give them away as a bonus when someone orders something from me.
mine is on the way I am so excited :D
Enjoy. I really love mine.
Great video thanks :) I noticed it did not seem to come with a splashpan did you make yours to fit?
Thank you. Yes the catch basin was made by me. You can also use a plastic container. I’ve replaced with something bigger since this video. It just helps contain the splash mess. Thank you for watching and commenting.
@@vanillavinepottery oh ok thank you :)
Did u bake it?
I just purchased this wheel! What clay do you use??
I throw with earthenware or stoneware clay. But you can use an air dry clay as well but I personally don’t work with air dry clay.
Da para fazer um copo nessa máquina?
Puedes hacer cualquier forma que quieras, siempre que sea pequeña.
Hi
How big is the largest plate for this wheel? Is it actually 10cm? I want to make small pots and cups
10 cm/ 3.9 inches. It can handle tiny but the more clay you use the less torque you get. I have another small pottery wheel for making things like small snack bowls shot glasses and sake sets. The torque is amazing. It’s call The Small Ceramics Wheel.
@@vanillavinepottery thank you so much!
@@vanillavinepottery do you know how much weight it can do?
