Kiln Crafts Poppy Pottery Wheel

New · the smallest wheel we make Your first wheel. Small enough for the spare room. The Poppy is a compact, quiet, simple wheel for trying pottery properly at home. It takes up about as much floor as a dining chair, and it plugs into a normal socket. The splash pan unclips with a button and the top wipes clean. £799, and backed for 3 years. One of our own wheels, not a no-name import you can't get help with. 28cm wheelhead, 0–300 RPM. Plenty for mugs, bowls and small pots. Hall-effect foot pedal. The same smooth speed control you get on the Daisy. 25kg, 50 × 40cm. Fits a spare room, garage or shed, and it's light enough to move. 30 days at home to decide if it's right for you. Free UK delivery, to the kerbside. Designed in the UK Normal 13A socket 4.9 on Trustpilot Made for starting out Most people who email us before buying a wheel open with the same line: "I'm not a potter." You don't need to be. The Poppy lets you try pottery properly at home, without giving up a whole room or spending over a thousand pounds to find out if you love it. It's our simplest wheel. There's one switch for on and off, one for forward and reverse, and a foot pedal for speed. It works just as well left- or right-handed. When you've finished, unclip the two halves of the splash pan, rinse them in the sink, and wipe down the top. The Poppy comes as a wheel on its own, so you pick your own tools and clay, or use what you already have. If you'd rather have everything in one box, the Daisy comes with batts, tools and a stool.

A few basic tools. A sponge, a cutting wire, a needle tool and a rib are enough to start. A stool at the right height and a couple of batts make life easier, but you can add those later. Clay. One 12.5kg bag is plenty to learn on. Somewhere to put your tools (optional). The Kiln Crafts Wheel Shelf (£129) fits the Poppy as well as the Daisy, so tools and water stay within reach. Somewhere to fire what you make. That means a kiln, or a local firing service. Plenty of pottery classes and makers will fire your pieces for a small fee. Worth knowing It's a smaller wheel. A 150W motor and a 28cm wheelhead are right for mugs, bowls and small pots. If you want to throw larger pieces or centre a whole bag of clay at once, the Daisy (300W, up to 12.5kg) will suit you better. Free UK delivery, to the kerbside. It's 25kg, so have someone around to help carry it in, and always lift it by the body, never by the wheelhead. Plug it straight into the wall. Please don't use an extension lead. Is the Poppy a good first pottery wheel? Yes, if you want to throw mugs, bowls and small pots at home. The Poppy is a £799 wheel with a 28cm wheelhead, a 150W motor and a hall-effect foot pedal. It weighs 25kg, plugs into a normal socket and comes with a 30-day home trial. For centring a whole bag of clay, choose the Daisy. Not sure it is the right size of wheel?

The Daisy costs £550 more and gives you a stronger motor, a bigger wheelhead and the batts, tools and stool in the box. How much is the Poppy pottery wheel? The Poppy costs £799, the full price, with nothing to pay later. It is a wheel on its own, so you add your own tools and clay. The Daisy at £1,349 includes batts, tools and a stool. Is the Poppy big enough for a spare room, garage or shed? Yes. It measures 50 × 40cm, stands up to 65cm high and weighs 25kg, so it takes up about as much floor as a dining chair. It plugs into a normal 13A socket, and you shouldn't use an extension lead. Can the Poppy centre a whole bag of clay? No. A 150W motor and a 28cm wheelhead suit mugs, bowls and small pots. If you want to centre up to 12.5kg of clay at once, the 300W Daisy is the better wheel. What else do I need to buy with a Poppy? A sponge, a cutting wire, a needle tool and a rib are enough to start, plus a bag of clay. You also need somewhere to fire your pots, which means a kiln or a local firing service. What warranty and returns come with the Poppy? The Poppy has a 3-year warranty and a 30-day home trial with a full refund. Both start the day it arrives, not the day you order.
