ABSTRACT:
A compact, washable potter's wheel comprising three separate units, a casing, a motor housing and a turntable assembly. The motor housing and turntable assembly are removably mounted on the casing. A motor is mounted within the housing and has a shaft projecting outwardly therefrom. The turntable assembly includes a turntable having a peripheral rim and a bearing assembly which rotatably supports the turntable. A leaf spring secured to the motor housing contacts a wall of the casing to urge the housing to a first position in which the motor shaft contacts the turntable rim. In this position, the turntable is driven by the motor. A cam member mounted on the motor housing slideably engages the casing wall to urge the housing to a second position in which the motor shaft is spaced apart from the turntable rim. In this position, the turntable may be manually rotated as a lazy susan.
