pottery wheel

A pottery wheel is a rotating device used by ceramic artists to shape clay into symmetrical objects like bowls, vases, and pots. It consists of a spinning platform powered by a motor, controlled by foot pedals or manual adjustments. The artist places a lump of clay on the center, then uses their hands and tools to mold and form the clay as it spins, enabling smooth, even walls and precise shapes. Pottery wheels allow for efficient, consistent creation of ceramic items, combining technical skill with artistic expression.
