My Project

Banding wheels allow for fine detail work that can be done on the wheel but does not have to. Our program has now exploded into a dedicated class for 7th and 8th graders, and we need more options for doing higher level work.

In order to have opportunities to complete as many projects as possible while also providing a wider range of creative techniques, having high-grade banding wheels allows us to trim, sculpt, shape, contour and decorate vessels with a rotational platform, freeing up the wheels for actual throwing.

A HUGE boon!!
