Happy New Year to All.
I just used my Artista in a live demo for a geriatric center. A pleasure to
work with. I used a soft off white stoneware #153 Standard, right out of the
bag. I do get vibration when I work on low speed and push hard, understandable ,
that's a lot of pressure for a 35 lb wheel. I use it in class to demo and
can't wait for nice weather to work out on my patio. I didn't get the legs,
wanted to try to fashion a box with handles to flip over as a stand and carrying
tool. I'm tiny, 5 ft, I can carry this without hurting myself. I liked the
compact and complete design of it as well. This will allow me to do more types of
work - shows, teaching, promotional.
Also nice for those who can't sit and work. Deb in Collegeville, Pa.
