SpeedBall Clay Boss Potter's Wheel, Wheel Bats and Boss Base™

Whether you’re buying your first beginner pottery wheel or upgrading a home studio or teaching space, this range is designed to make throwing smoother, cleaner and more consistent from the first pull.

The Speedball Clay Boss is a starter-friendly potter’s wheel with a dependable 0.5hp motor, 100lb clay capacity and a 14 inch wheel head. Smooth variable speed control (0–240rpm), reversing direction and load-sensing performance help maintain steady speed as you work, while the durable tabletop and two-part splash pan make clean-up simple. Pair it with Speedball plastic bats for an organised workflow and the Boss Base for consistently clean, even bases.

  • Beginner-friendly pottery wheel with smooth variable speed control

Speedball Boss Base™

Developed in collaboration with professional potter Rich Brown, the Speedball Boss Base™ is an ergonomic tool designed to help potters create clean, consistent bases with confidence.
