This wheel was purchased used. It has had its wheel head, wheel head shaft, motor, pedal and control panel have all been replaced. The wheel head is 14" and the motor is a CXC (1 hp), reversible. The only things original to the wheel, which was purchased used are the deck and legs. Mostly the wheel has lived at the end of a work table and its deck has held glaze buckets while we've glazed pots.

If you have serious interest, contact Lars and he will bring it over for you to see and try.

OPEN STUDIO SCHEDULE FOR WEEK OF JULY 14, 2013

RE: OPEN STUDIO SCHEDULE FOR WEEK OF JULY 14 (TUESDAY 7/16 & THURSDAY 7/18)

Hello all,

Please remember that next week Mazie will be teaching a class in both rooms so Open Studio will not start until 12:30 PM.

I know that it is inconvenient to have to adjust our schedules but Summer is a busy time for classes/workshops and, of course, the Outdoor Show.  I don't know how the Outdoor Show will affect the open Studio schedule yet. I'll try to keep you posted.

Painting on Your Pottery - Workshop Update

 Betsy Curtiss will be offering this "how to" workshop next Sat. (6/29). The class is still open for registrations. If you have already registered, Betsy has sent the following:

 

   "I will be bringing underglazes and some slip to work with.  I also have extra brushes.  If everyone can bring a few pieces 2-4 of greenware (leather hard or bone dry is fine).   This way everyone can get a "hands on" feel for what we are doing.  I will bring some additional pieces as well if someone doesn't have anything.

  If you have a liner brush or small brush please bring it.  I will bring extra's if you don't have one.  

  In addition I will bring some fruit to snack on since it's a full day, but you might want to bring a lunch or drink.

  Looking forward to a wonderful class", 

Looks like a great opportunity to expand your pottery skills.
