Artisan pottery throwing gauge for consistently and accurately recreating a vessels size and shape. An essential tool for potters wanting to fine tune their work, this two- armed gauge allows for precise measurements throughout the throwing process.

Quickly adjustable and maintains positioning with simple hand tightening.
The heavy wooden base holds sturdy and does not need to be clamped into place. (But can be clamped for added stability, if desired.)

Vertical arm height: approximately 12”
Base: approximately 3 1/2” x 4 1/4” wide x 2 1/2” tall

How to use a throwing gauge at the pottery wheel.
All of our wooden items are made from fallen or salvaged Oregon hardwood. This means every piece is entirely individual, bearing its own unique figuring, knots, texture, and grain. Each slab of wood that a pottery gauge is cut from is handpicked to assure durability, is making ready, and completely your own—No two are exactly alike.
