About the category
What we carry, and why
When a studio or program grows past hand tools, equipment is what removes the bottleneck. We carry Shimpo slab rollers for consistent, fast slabs, North Star and Shimpo extruders for handles and repeated forms, pugmills for reclaim and de-airing clay, Lehman dipping vats for glaze production, and the stools and studio furniture that make long sessions sustainable.
Equipment is also where local service pays off. A pugmill or slab roller is a machine, and machines need parts and occasional attention. Buying from a supplier in your own metroplex means help is a call away, not a freight claim.
What To Think About
Buying Equipment well
A few things we talk through at the counter before anyone commits.
Size equipment for your busiest day
A slab roller or pugmill sized for your peak class or production run pays for itself in time. Undersizing it just moves the bottleneck.
Reclaim changes the math
A de-airing pugmill turns scrap into throwing clay. For a busy studio, the labor and material savings often cover the machine within a year.
Floor space and power first
Confirm footprint and electrical needs before ordering. We will spec the machine against your actual room.
