Pottery wheels

A pottery wheel is a tool used by artisans to shape clay into round objects like pots, bowls, and vases. It consists of a rotating wheel head powered either by hand, foot, or electricity. The artist places a ball of clay on the wheel, which spins steadily as they shape it using their hands and tools. The spinning motion allows for symmetrical, even forms, making the creation process more efficient and precise. Pottery wheels enable artisans to produce functional and decorative ceramics with smooth, consistent surfaces.
