Discontinued Minerva Potters Wheel
The Minerva Potters Wheel is a discontinued Potters Mate wheel that is no longer in manufacture and is no longer available to buy as a new pottery wheel. Some spare parts may still be available, so this page is useful for potters, schools and ceramic studios looking for Minerva wheel spares, Potters Mate parts or compatible pottery wheel accessories.
The Minerva was designed as a high-performance, transportable potters wheel with an integral adjustable upholstered seat and a smooth action instep pedal. When switched off, the transmission disengages so the wheelhead can be used as a whirler, making it a practical legacy wheel for throwing, trimming and general studio use.
