Wheel Talk
Ryan Durbin (@rdceramics) & Becca Otis (@5linespottery) share their experiences as potters, makers, small business owners, and creatives. Becca is a full time studio potter, while Ryan is a full time website developer and part time potter. We'd love to share our ups and downs along the way as we build our skills as makers and small business owners in an honest, informal manner. We hope to bring you helpful tips we've learned over the years, learn from each other, and share expertise from a number of guests with you also. Please join us for some Wheel Talk!

#67 - Buying & selling pottery wheels
Ryan & Becca go through a wide range of pottery wheels on the market to buy new and used. There are so many options out there right now and we dive right into the specifics of a number of wheels (Brent, Shimpo, Soldner, Laguna, Skutt, Speedball) and how much you could pay for them new or used. We've only used a few of the wheels on this list, so take our advice with a grain of salt as you listen.
There are also many factors that go into selling any used equipment, but this is just our insights on how we approach selling a wheel. We'll be back soon to break down prices of buying & selling kilns.
Listener Questions
On this episode:
- How do you apply for shows at NCECA?
- You mentioned having failures when using reclaimed clay. If it’s all the same clay body, what would cause failures? I can understand this can occur if there are two different clays.
