Why did you choose this?
How does this clay dry, air dry or oven?
We use air dry clay with this pottery wheel.
How many rpm is this wheel?
92 RPM on fast
68 RPM on slow
what type of paint do you use that wont wash off and is there a glaze?
Acrylic paint is the best to use. Once it has dried, it will not wash off. Although there is not a glaze option for air-dried clay, Mod Podge Hard Coat (#038141) will give it that glossy/shiny look.
How big is the product? How big is the wheel section?
The wheel is approximately 7-8 inches in diameter - perfect for making a mug.
