We have a large collection of slip moulds that we cannot house or use anymore. As a charity, we are not charging for these moulds, but would appreciate a ‘pay what you can’ donation to our charity: Genesis Orwell Mencap

All of the moulds are currently held in a loft space, so would need to be viewed there before we would bring them down. We’re based in Ipswich (beside the Transport Museum). Please TEXT Emma (not call) on the mobile number below.

A vintage treadle-operated potter’s wheel to use whilst standing up. Most likely made by Dryad.

In good, working condition for its age. Giving away for FREE.

Heavy and large, will require two-person pick up and a suitable vehicle.

Collection only from near Cambridge.

I was given this to rescue and use.  Lack of time and crook hips mean that is never going to happen.

We have greased and scrubbed it. Added wheels to level it after having to take off some of the rotten wood where is got damp.  Now at a loss.  Reluctant to scrap it if someone can use the wood or make it lovely again. 

It has had a sorry life.  Wheel head and cam/turn mechanism rusty.

No idea if all bits are here but lovely copper lined wooden tray definitely is not. Wood seems sound and the kick bar/ weight do move if creaking and unevenly. It came with a wooden seat bracket that had been painted but no actual seat to rest your bottom on. 

I learned on one of these 40 years ago and would be sad to see it go to the tip or become shelves.  

If you are up for a challenge it is collect from Norwich.
