Discus, probably the most powerful, compact and elegant portable table top electric potter’s wheel in the world, with no compromise on safe operation.

This rugged, wheel delivers constant torque so critical for clay working and often lacking in comparable products. This portable wheel is light and easy to move and use whilst probably having more power than you will need.

Who We Are

Who are Potter's Wheels?
When designing the Discus potter wheel (for sale now in the UK!), the designer Mr Gilks was initially chiefly focused on the particular requirements of his sister, an active potters wheel user. Her requirement was for a better and more powerful potter wheel and one that was portable and of a weight that she could easily lift. So it was with these criteria as the basis for the development of the Discus Pottery Wheel, and with the vision of marketing the potters wheel in the UK that this high-quality potters wheel became a reality. With a new “UK-made Potters Wheels for sale” sign, in the window of his workshop in Derby, he progressed to a working prototype and later to full-scale manufacture. Upon his retirement, he transferred the business (as well as the UK-made Potters Wheels for Sale sign) to Bruce Johnston in Somerset. Bruce made the wheel for some 7 years until it was transferred to Nick Elwin and David Longland in Petersfield who inherited the Discus Potters Wheels (and yes, the UK-made Potters Wheels for sale sign!). Now the Discus Potter’s Wheels (and accessories) are made available on the very website that you’re viewing right now.
