How to use :

Using the Mini Electric Pottery Wheel is a straightforward process. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to use it:

Setup:

Find a stable and flat surface to place the pottery wheel.
Make sure the machine is plugged into a power source or has its batteries charged if it's a cordless model.

Prepare Clay:

Get a suitable clay type for your project. Ensure the clay is soft and pliable, as this will be easier to work with on the wheel.

Positioning:

Sit comfortably in front of the pottery wheel.
Center the clay on the wheelhead, patting it down gently to ensure it's stable and doesn't wobble during spinning.

Wetting the Clay:

Dip your hands in water or use a spray bottle to wet the surface of the clay slightly. This helps reduce friction and makes it easier to shape.

Start the Wheel:

Turn on the electric motor to start the wheel's spinning motion. Adjust the speed to a comfortable level using the provided controls.

Centering the Clay:

Use both hands to apply gentle pressure on the clay, slightly off-center. Allow the centrifugal force to pull the clay towards the center of the wheelhead.
Continue this process until the clay is centered perfectly.

Shaping the Pottery:

With the clay centered, use your hands and fingers to shape the clay into your desired pottery form (e.g., bowl, cup, vase).
Keep your hands wet to prevent the clay from sticking to your fingers.
Use various pottery tools, such as rib tools and loop tools, to refine the shape and add details to your pottery.

Finishing:

Once you're satisfied with the shape and design of your pottery, use a wire cutter to remove it from the wheel head carefully.
Place the finished piece on a clean, flat surface to dry.

Cleaning Up:

After use, turn off the pottery wheel and unplug it from the power source if applicable.
Clean the wheel head and other parts of the machine, removing any clay residue.
Store the machine in a safe and dry place.

Remember that using a pottery wheel may require some practice to master the art of pottery making. Don't get discouraged if your first few attempts don't yield perfect results. As you gain experience and skill, you'll be able to create beautiful and intricate pottery pieces with ease. Happy potting!
