A considered start to making with clay.

About John Morris & Electric Pottery Wheel

Updated September 16, 2026

A clear place to start

Electric Pottery Wheel is published by John Morris to help readers choose equipment and plan a workable place to make pottery. The site focuses on the decisions around an electric wheel: format, controls, clay, compatible accessories, cleanup and firing.

John Morris is the named author and publisher of these guides. The site does not claim that he has personally tested every machine or holds professional ceramics qualifications.

How to use the site

Start with the Wheel Finder if you are narrowing equipment options. Use the buying guides to understand tradeoffs, and the setup planner to account for the items around the wheel. Model pages distinguish published specifications from editorial interpretation.
