It came 4 days earlier than expected and I’m so excited to use it! I took ceramics 1 in college and we only did hand building so never got to use the wheels. My professor is also not doing her ceramics 2 class for a while due to construction in her class room so I felt bummed out that I wouldn’t be able to try wheel throwing out. My dad bought it for me and it’s such a nice gift! I can’t wait to throw mugs because I have a hard time hand building even, symmetrical mugs lol. The size and quality of it is better than expected. It rotates without wobbling and seems pretty sturdy. My basin wasn’t cracked which is something I was worried about since some reviews said theirs was cracked. I’ll try and post an updated review once I actually try it out but I can’t wait to use it! It’ll fit perfectly on my backyard patio :)UPDATE: added some photos of stuff I’ve made so far! My clay is currently drier than most so I’ve just been hand building things then putting them on the wheel to trim and smooth out. If I wet the clay enough on the wheel, it basically feels like I’m “throwing” lol but I can’t really throw yet till I get a fresh bag of clay. It spins well, is easy to clean, gets up to a really good speed, and is a nice size. Just wish it was more silent but I never have to be quiet in my house so that’s fine with me :)
