Make something original
Choose a shape and see how small movements change its appearance.
The DIY Pottery Wheel offers a starting point for hands-on clay crafting. Children can explore shaping a small piece, changing its form and choosing how to finish it. Set the wheel on a steady work surface and follow the product and clay instructions for setup, use and drying. Each creation can take a different shape.
A little discovery, every day
Start with a little clay and see where their hands take it. Every wonky bowl and curious shape can be part of the fun.
The wheel gives making a clear starting point while leaving the finished shape open to their own ideas.
