What we do
Clay at Home sorts pottery equipment and supplies by category (wheels, kilns, clay, glazes, hand-building, tools, studio safety, kits) and by situation (beginners, no kiln, small spaces, kids and classrooms, food-safe ware, selling your work).
Our rankings and comparisons are built from what makers and listings state: motor power, wheel head size, centering capacity, voltage and amps, maximum temperature and cone, clay body and firing range, what is in the box.
What we don’t do
- We do not lab-test, throw on or fire the products we write about, and we never pretend to. Every ranking says how it was put together.
- We do not show prices or star ratings. Both change daily; the product link opens the current listing.
- We do not invent specs. If a maker does not list a figure, we say it is not listed.
Safety claims, with sources
Electrical, dust and food-safety notes cite primary sources such as OSHA and NIOSH on silica, the FDA on lead in ceramicware and Orton on pyrometric cones. They are general information. A licensed electrician should check any kiln circuit, and the kiln maker’s manual comes first.
How we make money
Some links are affiliate links: if you buy through them, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. It does not change what we recommend. See the affiliate disclosure.
