Kick and Treadle Wheels

What is a Pottery Kick Wheel?
Many pottery makers use electric powered pottery wheels. Others opt for choosing a kick wheel. Kick wheels are pottery wheels that are taller than others. These are operated manually by using energy from a kicking motion to give the wheel power. This power makes the wheel move in a circular motion. Kick wheels are very quiet and rather cost efficient. They can be made for much less than the price of a powered wheel with a motor.

Kick wheels allow potters to create pieces that are just as beautiful as those made on power pottery wheels. Some crafters feel this type of wheel brings back the feel of traditionally pottery methods. Any type of clay can be used with a kick wheel. Simply follow the drying and curing directions.
