"How clean is your wheel?" has never been so musical before.🎶✨️

Huge shoutout to Stray Cat Studio for their fabulous Bee Gees parody! 😂

Shhh... do you hear that? 🤫

We barely do. That is the sound of a full lineup of VL- Whisper wheels. Thanks to our direct-drive motor technology, you can fill a studio with wheels and still hear a pin drop. They are smooth, vibration-free, and incredibly powerful- the ultimate setup for deep focus and pure throwing bliss.

We are proud to see azure arts utilizing a group of these workhorses. When you eliminate the noise, you make room for absolute creativity.

🤷‍♀️ Safe to say shan smith saved on glaze but splurged on the ultimate studio upgrade! We take full responsibility for making pottery wheels that are simply irresistible to leave behind. Welcome to the family- we can't wait to see what you create with your new VL - Whisper!✨️

There is something so mesmerizing about both watching a form come to life on the wheel, and seeing it spin perfectly finished when it's done.✨️ Just like staring into a campfire or watching ocean waves crash against the shore, working with clay has a magical way of slowing us down.

Thank you to Sam for helping us slow down and appreciate the little things in life.🕊

Take a moment today to breathe and look closer at the beauty around you.

Big thanks to Clayboro Studios for sharing a quick and honest look at the Shimpo Aspire! If you want a wheel that is compact, super portable (it fits in a carry on suitcase), easy to store in tiny spaces and can throw 20lbs of clay, this little machine is a game-changer. Honestly, look no further- this is the compact workhorse you've been looking for. 🙌✨️🙌

This child's reaction to throwing clay is everything!😍

We absolutely love seeing kids discover the joy of clay. Start them young and clay will be that much more exciting- noises will need to be made!

We hope our products get you and your little ones excited about clay! Happy creating!

We love seeing beautifully restored wheels, and we are thrilled that you love your wheel and your partner! Thanks so much for sharing, Eleanor Tietsort - Sequoia Studio ✨️❤️!

Watch Maral Noori Ceramics unbox the legendary Shimpo banding wheel. If you want perfectly smooth, endless spinning for your carving, decorating and detailing etc, look no further.

We couldn't resist sharing this post! There is no higher honor for our team than finding out our slab roller has officially become a named, trusted member of a studio family. 😀❤️✨️

Thanks Chicago Clay Co-op for bringing a smile to our faces before the weekend!

Shoutout to the rest of the community- do any of your other machines have nicknames we should know about?👇
