Where can I find inexpensive pottery wheels and art supplies?
I am looking for an electric pottery wheel inexpensive or used. I am also looking for art supplies like canvasses and paints. I am new at this and I want to start painting and making my own pottery. I just don’t know how to get started.
I completely agree with the idea of taking art classes locally, and using their wheels and kilns at first.
You could also join your local Freecycle group through Yahoo Groups. They help people get rid of their extra junk, and find stuff that members need for free – no cash, no barter, just redistributing unneeded and unwanted stuff for free. Many people spend a lot of money on a hobby that they think will be fun and rewarding, only to find out that it’s not their cup of tea. Some of those people sell their stuff at yard sales. Others donate it to local thrift shops, charities, or artists’ groups, and some give the stuff away on Freecycle.
Sometimes schools and art centers sell off their excess equipment at discount prices, and sometimes you can find bargains at yard sales and thrift shops. People who are handy or creative often build their own equipment and tools. Artists certainly qualify as handy and creative, and I’ve made a lot of my own stuff in the past. I’ve seen plans online for building kick wheels, and I’m sure you could find some for motorized ones. I’m lucky enough to be able to buy my clay directly from the refiner, (if that’s the right word for the people who dig it out of the ground, grind it up, screen it, etc.).
You could also try placing an ad in your local newspaper or online, or putting a notice on a local bulletin board saying that you are interested in finding cheap or free art supplies. EBay has some good bargains once in awhile, too.
Good luck.
