Here's my wheel. It's an old Venco from a school that's decided to no longer teach pottery. Few places teach pottery now.
When I studied ceramics at art school 15 years ago pottery wasn't encouraged as the department tried to position itself as an art, not a craft. Now the department has gone completely!
If it keeps going like this, people wont know what it feels like to hold and use a cup or bowl that's made by hand rather than machine ...
