My Project

Throwing pottery on a mini wheel seems like a joke, but it actually helps student learn the basics. Learning to throw pottery on a large wheel can be daunting. These Mini wheels help students try out their skills and have small successes and before going to a large wheel. Mini wheels are also more affordable and can store away more easily to provide more students an opportunity to try throwing pottery. I would love to give my middle school students an opportunity to try throwing pottery and see the amazing things they will create.
