Features of A fabricated Potters’ Throwing kick wheel
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Humanities and Social Science - Year 2018, Vol 23, Issue 2
Abstract
The wheel is simple equipment that every studio potter desires. There is no complete ceramics studio or workshop without a potter‟s wheel. The potter‟s wheel is an indispensable ceramic equipment necessary in the ceramics processing. Although, observations in some established ceramic units in most of Nigerian tertiary institutions and some pottery homes today revealed the absence of some of the vital equipment for pottery making, in which the potter‟s wheel is one. This could be adduced to the high cost of procuring such equipment. Recently however, for independent reasons, most potters have taken to fabrication of local machineries and equipment, this paper therefore documents an illustrative step-by-step approach in the design and fabrication of a simple potter‟s kick wheel using the motor flywheel and other materials at a reduced cost. The fabrication was completed and the equipment was subjected to a vigorous tests using it to produce some ceramic wares, and it was found to be effective.This research will therefore serve as a call to potential potters from developing countries to attempt fabrication of equipment and tools necessary for use in ceramic studios.
