Commission to make a pair of large floor lamps

Some several years ago, a potter near Mold Flint made a pair of floor lamp bases for my wife and myself when we lived in Cheshire.

My wife died six years ago and I am considering giving my son and daughter a pair each for Christmas if I can get them made or something similar (see photo).

If you would be interested in making something along these lines, could you be kind enough to give me a cost guide?

Many thanks

Giffin Grip Spares

Does anyone in the potting community have a spare Giffin grip base bracket? These are the black plastic angled brackets that fix the GG to the wheel head (see image). One of mine has snapped and they are so expensive on line – you have buy 3 plus VAT, plus postage, etc…

Electric potters wheel

  • A bright yellow potter’s wheel made from fibreglass
  • The wheel tray has a drain to take water away
  • The moulded seat bolts to the free standing tray unit. Metal legs to tray and seat.
  • Powerful electric motor has a variable speed control, foot operated.
  • In working condition, but has not been used for a while (see video for short demo)
  • Would be suitable for a professional potter or a beginner as it’s comfortable and easy to use
  • It’s been in my garage (dry and brick built) for a while now, but I no longer use it
  • Moving home soon so feel I ought to sell it for someone else to enjoy.

    Asking for £450. Based in Cockfield, Suffolk.
