Designed and Hand Crafted in Cornwall under the guidance of Crown Works Potteries Director Giulietta Hextall, we are incredibly excited to launch her line of beautiful Onggi Wheels.

These wheels are a tribute to the ancient craftsmanship of Korean pottery. Built using pine, the wheel adheres as closely as possible to traditional Korean designs, featuring the classic wide, low-profile wooden drum structure essential for building large-scale vessels. Giulietta was in discussion and took advice from Hee Gun Kim an 8th-generation Korean potter preserving traditional Onggi techniques to develop this wheel.

By utilizing this silent, foot-powered mechanism, makers can experience the true rhythm and responsiveness required for traditional Onggi techniques, from the rhythmic "breathing" of the clay to the powerful, frictionless momentum needed for high-capacity throwing. We are proud to bring this rare piece of equipment to our community, bridging the heritage of Korea with the craft traditions of Cornwall and London.

We are pleased to invite you to come to Crown Works in the New Year to see and try the wheel now in the studio and or enquire with any questions you may have.

Please also see our wonderful Four Day Onggi Course taking place at the studios in February taught by Hee Gun Kim as well as our Onggi tools we have for sale and pre-order that have been made for us especially by some of the most respected and knowledgeable craftsman in Korea.

All orders for wheels will be made in batches. The next making round will be in February and they take 6 to 8 weeks to be completed depending on the number being made. Please enquire about shipping costs as this will have to be established for each delivery. We will be open to shipping to Europe but will have to establish a cost according to each location.
