With just 11 days to go until the big day, your Christmas shopping is probably well underway. But if you’re still stumped as to know what to get the potter in your life, don’t worry. We’ve put together a handy last-minute Christmas gift guide, with exciting ideas to suit every budget.
1. Claypron
(6420/3)
If you’re on the hunt for a unique gift this Christmas, look no further than the Claypron, new to our range for the festive season.
.35 8 2 £ AT +V
Whether throwing, sculpting, glazing or hand-building, the Claypron promises to make the hassle of awkwardly adjusting an apron a thing of the past. It doesn’t compromise on quality, either. Constructed from mid-weight cotton and featuring two neck straps as well as a secure side pocket, it’s durable and destined to become a staple in any ceramic artist’s kit. What’s more, you won’t find the Claypron for sale anywhere else in the UK. And at under £35, it’s the perfect stocking filler for the discerning potter.
2. Pottery Tool Kit (6138) Do you know a budding potter who’d like some tools, but isn’t sure where to start? Why not consider our Pottery Tool Kit, which we put together with them in mind? Comprising eight carefully selected tools, the set includes a modelling tool and ground edge tool for shaping and layering clay when hand-building. It’s an ideal gift for the novice thrower, too, with plenty of tools that will come handy when working at the wheel.
.60 2 1 £ AT +V
And as all of the tools in our kits are exactly the same size and quality as the ones we sell separately, by buying this kit, you’ll pick them up at a bargain price. For full details of what the Pottery Tool Kit contains, visit our website. Don’t forget to take a look at our other tool sets we sell while you’re there!
3. 8 x 3” Alloy Whirler
(6704)
There’s no doubt about it, our bestselling 8 x 3” Alloy Whirler would make a fantastic gift this Christmas – it wouldn’t be a bestseller otherwise! But what makes it so good? Well, like all of our whirlers, it’s an indispensable piece of kit. Whether used for making, decorating or spraying ceramics, this metal turntable – complete with concentric circles etched into the working surface to aid re-centring – will help the ceramic artist make light work of the task at hand.
4. Paintec Spray Gun
(6608)
If you’re looking for a time and tested favourite, look no further than the Paintec Spray Gun. It’s the simple way to spray glaze and colours – and it’s cost effective, too! Maybe the Paintec Spray Gun is so popular because it’s economical, adjustable and sprays continuously. Or perhaps it’s that no compressor or power supply is required, making it light and comfortable to use. Whatever the reason, when you buy a Paintec Spray Gun this Christmas, you can rest assured that it’s made using the finest quality plastic and bronze components to assure chemical resistance.
And that’s not all. As it’s light and easy to transport, it’s perfect for use at pottery classes or anywhere else it’s needed. Best of all, it will set you back less than £50 – so not only does it tick all the boxes, but it won’t break the bank, either.
.80 7 3 £ AT +V

True, it might be a struggle to fit it into the stocking on the mantelpiece on Christmas Eve. But it’s a small price to pay for a gift that will keep on giving, long after you’ve packed away this year’s decorations.
0 £89 T A +V
The Bailey Wheel offers the studio and professional potter a wheel of unparalleled performance and versatility in a compact and user friendly design. It’s powered by a super smooth 0.5hp motor that is controlled via a computer enhanced VF drive that, due to its unique design, can generate up to the peak equivalent of 1hp under heavy loads. This enables the wheel to give constant smooth power throughout the speed range, and it’s extremely quiet in operation. The wheel is completed by a remote foot pedal which is fitted as standard. For the perfect present, we also stock a number of additional items – such as a tool shelf and seat – to complement the Bailey Wheel. And of course, it goes without saying that technical advice comes as standard with any equipment purchase.
