FAO Schwarz Pottery Wheel Studio

Enjoy hands-on fun with the FAO Schwarz Pottery Wheel Studio. Use the spinning wheel to explore your creativity and create containers, cups, creatures, and anything else you can imagine. Switch between left-handed and right-handed modes to ensure any user is comfortable when operating the pottery wheel. Once you’re done shaping the clay on the wheel, use the included tools and paints to model and decorate your creation. Don’t let a cluttered workstation prevent you from expressing yourself. The set features built-in storage for all the tools, paints, and accessories so you can focus on bringing your vision to life. When you feel your clay creation is complete, use the lid as a drying rack to let your sculpture harden before painting.
