For those of you who are looking to build your own pottery wheel, I have found a good basic template at

http://www.motherearthnews.com.

Put "Pottery Wheel" in the search box and their article "Build Your Own Potter's Kick Wheel" link will come up.

I looked in the Buute county library website and found a book called "Building Pottery Equipment". It was made in 1975 but I would check your library and see if they have it.

I'm going to pick mine up in about an hour. If the instructions look good, I'll tell you all and if you want, I can send you them.

This is a page about making a kiln. You have taken some pottery classes and are now hooked. You have either bought your own wheel, are hand building, or perhaps you prefer sculpture. Now that your art piece is finished it is time to fire it.
