Thanks Neilestrick I have looked at reviews for the Shimpo Aspire and Speedball Artista and both come out very well. Perhaps as you suggest another set of lessons and then a decision

Thanks for the response. I have some out door space I could run a kiln but not enough at the moment for a proper area for wheel and full sized kiln. Perhaps I will do more lessons after these have finished and then re-appraise.

Sorry if this post is in the wrong area, or if you don’t deal with beginners ( I am hoping you do but if you don’t you can send me packing … but gently please ) however I am hoping that perhaps I may find some help and guidance. I have just started a course of 5 classes ( just throwing classes ) and really enjoying myself. It is very apparent that practice and experimentation is the way forward. I am out in the sticks so the studio space option is difficult ( though possibly not impossible ) I have looked at equipment and full blown wheel and kiln are out of the question at this stage not only on the basis of cost but space. I wonder are the table top wheels a viable option just to get started and practicing. I understand that this is very likely a more expensive option should I decide to upgrade to a full size wheel, but I am not sure when that will be. I just thought it may be a good option to get practicing on small pieces, then possibly take some more lessons to fine tune. If this isn’t such a terrible idea is there a particular brand / model that may just be suitable . I was also thinking of a small table top kiln so any help / recommendations would be very much appreciated. Apologies in advance if this is the wrong place for this thread or perhaps the wrong forum type. Regards ~ Ash
