Electric Teaching Potters Wheel for Face-to-Face Pottery Tuition
The Bailey Tutorial Potters Wheel is a specialist electric pottery wheel designed for face-to-face teaching, making it ideal for schools, colleges, ceramics classes, workshops and private pottery tuition. Its tutorial layout allows the teacher to control the wheel using the remote pedal while demonstrating technique, then hand control back to the student once they are confident.
Built around the proven Bailey wheel design, the G41 Bailey Tutorial Wheel uses a smooth 0.37kW / 0.5HP VF drive system that can generate up to a peak equivalent of 1HP under heavier loads. This gives quiet, consistent power through the speed range, helping students learn on a stable and responsive potters wheel while giving tutors greater control during demonstrations.
Why Choose the Bailey Tutorial Wheel?
The Bailey Tutorial Wheel is built for teaching rather than just individual throwing. Its face-to-face setup makes it easier for tutors to demonstrate centring, opening, pulling, shaping and trimming while the student can clearly see hand position and wheel control.
The remote pedal is particularly useful in learning environments because it lets the teacher manage speed while the student focuses on clay control. This makes the wheel a strong choice for beginners, guided lessons and structured pottery classes where confidence and technique need to build gradually.

Designed for Tutors and Students
Unlike a standard single-user wheel, the Bailey Tutorial Wheel is designed around the teaching process. The tutor can control the wheel while the student concentrates on hand placement, pressure and clay movement, making it easier to introduce new techniques safely and clearly.
The large plastic bowl gives practical working space for tools and water, helping keep the throwing area organised during lessons. Its smooth, quiet drive also helps create a calmer learning environment, which is especially useful when teaching beginners or working with groups.
Note: Potters wheels are specialist machinery. If you are buying for a school, studio or teaching environment and are unsure whether the Bailey Tutorial Wheel is the best option, please contact Cromartie on 01782 319435 for advice before ordering.
