Im starting a pottery class in a couple of weeks so thought this was a good time to ask some questions. Iv used a wheel before and loved it. Its always something iv wanted to do again but the cost has put me off.
I would love to have my own wheel and kiln but im guessing they can be expensive. What is a rough price for them both? Is an electric wheel better than a kick one? What brands are best? Would it be better to start small with a smaller wheel? Would you need your own studio, preferably a large space to work in? I guess doing this in your house is out unless you have a spare outbuilding? Is there any point in doing this as a hobby as it costs so much?
What makes a good finished pot/bowl etc? What are hte basic tools needed? How is the market for selling hand thrown pots? Does anyone here make a living from it?
Told you there were lots of questions lol. There will probably be more
