Kick Wheel
The THEGOGO Kick Wheel provides a distinctive experience to ceramic artists that allows them to enjoy the outdoors and pottery al the same time… And it is powered by ones own body, giving the closest connection possible with the creative process.
What a change!
Throwing
The kick wheel can be used for throwing and hand building. The rotation is driven by “kicking” the cast iron base of the wheel which acts as a flywheel, keeping a smooth motion going. It is normal to use one foot, but experienced kick wheel users are capable of using both feet to achieve a more powerful rotation to throw large pots.
Hand building
Hand builders are very successfully in creating larger and taller pieces by using the kick wheel as a sturdy turntable. They benefit from a smooth, slow and long lasting rotation which is actioned by their feet. This leaves both hands free to work on the piece, making the process more efficient and with an enhanced control.
