@@PotterytothePeopleI find i can throw a relatively tall tube thing... A form I would struggle with at scale because I'm very basic yet. You are wonderful to watch
Small vases are wonderful for the “flowers” (weeds) that young children pick and bring to the parents. The small mini vase is just the right size for the weed flowers and the child is so proud to have them displayed!
My partner got me one of these tiny wheels and it’s so much fun! I have taken exactly one single day pottery class and am awaiting a full course starting in January, but even just making a tiny mess with this little wheel brings so much joy. I have 3 “successful” vessels so far! 😅 Watching your joy at the tiny baby wheel brought me an immense amount of joy as well. I audibly “squeeee”d when I saw the thumbnail for your video this morning! Sending you lots of tiny love. It’s just as mighty as regular sized love, but also in tiny form. 🖤
You will love the classes! It is so relaxing! Years ago potery classes helped me heal depression. I am thinking of attending more classes. I went to the Christmas maket and an artist was making potery. I couldn't help myself and stopped to watch her. There was a little boy and he was amazed by what she was turning! Potery is amazing! Enjoy your classes! 🎉🎉🎉
I've got a bunch of resin balljointed dolls which are around 60 cm tall. Ceramics appropriate for their size could be made on this wheel. It's so cute!!
That is SO CUTE! I would love to see you take your miniature pieces and add them to larger versions of themselves. I think a vase with vase decorations or a mug covered in mugs would be fun.
Since it seems to get bogged down with any pressure, I could see this as a good side wheel for trimming pots, mugs, and smaller items. Since you don't need to worry about splashing and water when trimming, you can just place the entire wheel over a plastic sheet or bucket to get reclaim.
i’ve been throwing tiny vessels for a while now (i can’t get over how cute they are) and this might be perfect for them. love how enthusiastic you were about it :)
I love watching you realise you can do what you want to make, its humbling that you get so much pleasure in doing what you do. Well if theres ever a need for small stuff, you could supply the pots and crockery needed for every little girl, or boys dream for their little garden play house parties.
I use these wheels to teach my grade 4/5 pottery - of the ones I tried Vevor seems pretty good. One thing I found that makes removal from the wheel easier is to dry it a bit before with a small baking torch (as you rotate the pot) so you can handle it without damage.
Did you bake them? I'd love to see them finished! I'll be happy to see more experiments with this, like mini face-cups similar to the ones you make, but tiny version.
I got a toy potters wheel as a kid, it "worked" in the sense that it had a pedal and spun, but the motor was such that it didn't move when it had clay on it, and the wheelhead was slippery plastic. I ended up loving looking at it but mostly used it as a turntable for sculpting rather than a throwing wheel. All that to say - I need this little wheel desperately, maybe even more than my 7 year old self does
THANK YOU! You keep on inspiring me to keep having fun and healing through pottery. I bought this Vevor wheel for all of the cases you recommend here! I've seen a ton of videos about it before, but SEEING YOU-- who I actually admire TONS and have followed your recommendations for setting up my little studio at home---is just SO MOTIVATIONAL. I appreciate you! Can you please please please create another video using it when you feel you have "mastered" it? 🥹🥰 Hugs!!!
A friend of mine made a small lidded jar for me. I kept candy bar money in it at work. You can drill holes in the wheel head and make bats to fit. Mikkel deMib has a You Tube video on how to drill holes.
i think Vevor wheels are perfect for beginner potters. i have the one you reviewed b4 and it works great for a hobbyist potter, or to try out to see if you will stick to it without blowing the bank.
WHAT that wheel is SO AFFORDABLE! Ohhhh I know what I will have on my wishlist now. Thank you for showing us. I don't have a workshop nor much space to put a proper wheel, but this could work
If you're gonna buy it i suggest you get either 350w or 450w because you're going kill 30w before you even get good use out of it. One Mia reveiwed seems like 30w.
I have one of these as well and it works fairly well for small pieces of clay. I have thrown probably 100 mini pots on it without any issues. There are other wheels that look exactly the same that do not. However, I don’t think you’re going to find a wheel with more than 30 W. Those tend to be the midsize ones that are like regular pottery wheels just shorter. If you do get one, the only hint I would give is when you’re removing it from the wheel - because it’s such a thinner piece of pot of clay, it tends to distort very easily so I use baking blowtorch to dry it out a bit. I do have a regular pottery wheel as well and that will always work the best but if you’re limited space, this is a pretty good option. I’ve used one with kids and it lasted fairly well considering that kids don’t have any concept of not over stressing an electric motor.
i luv my miniwheel...i do throw only very tiny pots and vases..like 1 to 3 cm...just like normal size pottery it takes time......and i always speed up during centering, to lower it down during making the actual pot-vase....when putting too much pressure on the wheel it will stop. and eventuallly will break it.....i have fibromydalgia, so cant do the big stuff..this way i can still have fun throwing clay...and mini´s dont take up so much space😁....glazing tiny ceramics is something else too😄....have fun😊
Oh what a coincidence! I've seen a documentary on kulhads the other day - traditional Indian tea cups. I was fascinated by how they're produced by the thousands. Could be a great project for that small wheel as well :D (originally they're thrown off the tip of a large clay cone, but seems easy enough to compromise here)
Surprisingly, it doesn’t really move that much. I’ve used one of these a lot, and I had the same concern but possibly because you’re using a smaller amount of clay or because you’re energy is focussed more downwards? It doesn’t seem to move.
@@SoleildePerez have fun with it!! One recommendation I would make is to use a mini blow torch (lighter or kitchen) to firm up your pots before you take them off as I found they distort easily when removing them from the wheel.
There’s a little knob that you turn to change speeds, and then it’s just an on/off lever switch. It does make it a little tricky because you have to do that on the fly.
The little one would work for you if it only had more power. If you wanna use it 350w or 450w would kinda do. While you were using it it sounded like it could burn out any moment. It's good tool don't get me wrong but you can't torture an electro motor while you're throwing clay an it and do work.
the 350w and 450w ones are regular sized wheels, not minis. You're right that they're better but not really the same use case. They're also triple the price.
@@mathildamurray2622 maybe not still if i had to chose i'd rather go triple price for normal and get good use out of it for the price than take cheapest one and end up burning it out before i get good use out of it. Did you hear how much smallest struggled with 30 watts? When i decide to buy somehing for whatever reason i avoid going cheapest route. if i were to buy mini i'd try to get one with more power so it doesn't struggle too much when i throw clay on it.
Okay so last time I almost bought the bigger one but couldn't find space in my tiny apartment. Well, this can fit so I just bought one 😅 But the next question is, what can I do with it 🤔 will it work with air dry clay? Otherwise it will become a very expressive final reveal turn table 😅
Hm. The amount of noise ir makes under load doesn’t give me the warm fuzzies. The bearings for the axle, or the width of the axle itself, might not be the most adequate ones. Also the motor seems a bit underpowered, if it cries under cup-sized loads. Dunno. They should not be skimping on these components.
"works"... I found it completely unusable. It runs off a 12V adapter that claims to be able to output 2A, so 24 Watt, but it's not even close to be able to do that, and it slows down as soon as you touch the clay. The speed is too low, and slows down to a crawl as soon as you put any pressure on the clay. I was using tiny amounts like 100, 150g. I returned it, it's garbage
@@PotterytothePeople there are other wheels that look exactly like the Vevor that do slow down as soon as you put any pressure on. But I’ve used the same vevor for several months to make mini pottery and it does not slow down until much higher pressure or weight.
the caption: "tickled by miniature things" me: (staring at the screen, eyes all big) "the sponge is small... it's small...... small sponge for a small wheel..." what I'm saying here is you're not alone, haha
I love how genuinely excited you get when trying out new tools. "Christmas ornament" is not something I imagined for a mini case, but it's perfect.
Ironically I didn't think to make anything but pots but of course it could also make little bulb ornaments or stick thingies!
if you found a good home-bake-able clay for throwing this would be such a fun thing to have around for projects
@@PotterytothePeopleI find i can throw a relatively tall tube thing... A form I would struggle with at scale because I'm very basic yet. You are wonderful to watch
I wonder it the weight limit isn't referring to the clay but the amount of downward pressure that it can handle
At the exact second you started using this wheel, my neighbor started a chainsaw and I was so confused for a moment.
😂😂😂
Watching you create, I can see an espresso cup! 🎉🎉🎉
Have the tiny pots on a desk or something and put tiny flowers you find in your garden in them
❤️❤️ love that idea!

It's so cute!!! But man that poor baby motor was STRUGGLING😅
haha yes he didn't like the regular sized pot very much!
@@PotterytothePeople maybe because your unit was 30 watts probably. 350w or 450w wouldn't struggle so much.
This is the greatest thing ever! But where's the finished product?😁 I want to see them glazed and hung please🙏🏻😍

I was literally googling mini pottery wheels an hour before you posted this video! I love your tiny vases!!
I googled the same just a couple of days ago, and this one usually came out on top!
I have one and its so fun to learn making tiny ceramics on it!
So fun! Thanks for the review.

You almost had those first 2! I was rooting for you :) Was centering hard for the smaller pots?
totally unrelated but what brand overalls do you wear? i’ve been trying different kinds and none have been comfortable but yours look so comfy!
I am in love with the little wheel that could
It's super cute, I have a smaller one..but I bet yours works better

I throw and trim at a community studio, then use this wheel at home/work to either apply wax emulsion or glaze!

@raughboy188 that is a good point to think about :) I'll look into that when making a decision!
@@kleinesren7064 you can also if you want mini version take a look at other manufactuirers. Maybe someone has similar thing but with more power.

Those traditional potters are a whole other breed. Unbelievable talent!
@@PotterytothePeople agreed! Its genuinely mesmerising to watch how gracefully they throw off the hump, its second nature to them :)
Thanks for sharing !!, just got mine too hope to try this weekend 😃
let me know how you like it!
I use one of those to polish my resin D&D dice :D Cute little machine indeed.
Can it be fixed to the table so it doesn't move? I, sure, want one. But, where can I go to have the pieces cured? Love the video! ❤❤❤
Surprisingly, it doesn’t really move that much. I’ve used one of these a lot, and I had the same concern but possibly because you’re using a smaller amount of clay or because you’re energy is focussed more downwards? It doesn’t seem to move.

Would you be interested in trying 1:12 scale miniature pottery?
i make 1:12 pots as i'm a miniaturist...so the walls have to be very thin ....glazing is a challenge😂.....its very different to normal size pottery.😉
This is so cool! What size diameter is this version? The 2.6 inch disc diameter?
I want to get into pottery, do you have any advice for beginners on where to start?
I think it might be quite easy to mod the wheel to control the speed
some of the wiggles and wobbles you made had me cracking up
a studio tree decorated in mini re-claimed pots!
Without a foot pedal, how do you make it turn and adjust speed? Is it pressure applied to the wheel?
There’s a little knob that you turn to change speeds, and then it’s just an on/off lever switch. It does make it a little tricky because you have to do that on the fly.
It's so cute!!
Oooooh, I wanna get that and throw a child's play tea set with it. ♥

that's so cute!!! love from Türkiye
❤️❤️ hugs from Germany!
Max weight 1 kg, have one. Just fun stuff 😊
Omg I have no idea why but I just bought this adorable wheel imagining I can actually do pottery. 🤣🥰🤦♀️😱🤷♀️

Hahaha so tiny!! Why are miniature things so delightful?
Lololol i bought one of these and it's wildly entertaining. I didn't have a regular wheel yet, so this is scratching my itch lol.

Hello how are you I'm watching form india
I am a bit disappointed... I waited one day to order this wheel, and the black friday discount was dropped. I ordered it anyway.
🐨👍
😍💋🌸💙
This is a crappy wheel. No power whatsoever! Try the “Small” wheel from London.
