The Metal Banding Wheel is a turntable for painting stripes onto
pottery as you rotate the pot by hand. Also called a decorating
wheel the turntable can be used for creating bands of colour with
slip, underglaze or stains; for sgraffito techniques; for brushing
or spraying glazes on in an even coating; and for airbrushing areas
or blending colours. As well as the many methods of decorating
ceramics, the wheel can also be used for handbuilding clay
techniques using coil and slab building as well as altering forms
with carving. This strong wheel is constructed with grooves to
allow for easy centreing of the clay. This turn table is revolved
on a bearing centred at the top of the spindle that assures smooth
movement. Sometimes the wheel is called a 'whirler'. Diameter:
