Why Potters Trust This Pottery Wheel Attachment
Steadier hands, less strain.
A stable resting point for your idle foot helps steady your hands while you shape, and eases back strain during long sessions.
Adjustable to fit you.
The peg and support arm adjust to accommodate potters of different sizes, so you can customize your working position.
Eases back pain from long sessions.
Sitting hunched at the wheel for hours adds up. The Peg helps you hold a steadier position so your back isn't doing all the work.
Great for shorter potters and kids.
Anyone who's had to stretch or strain to reach the wheel comfortably gets a better fit.
Built by Hand, by a Potter Who Gets It
The Potter's Peg comes from Clay Contours, a pottery studio Rodney Tague founded after nearly 30 years of throwing as a hobby, so he could share what he loves with more people.
Around Council Bluffs, Rodney's known for one of a kind wind chimes, planters, mugs, and platters, the kind of work you only get from decades of hands in clay, not a production line. That same instinct for good, functional design is what led him to the Potter's Peg. He wasn't trying to invent a product line. He was trying to fix a problem at his own wheel, the same way he approaches every piece he makes.
Meet The Founder
The Potter's Peg comes from Rodney Tague, a self-taught ceramist and the hands behind Clay Contours. After nearly 30 years of crafting pottery as a hobby, Rodney founded Clay Contours to share his love for the art form with others.
Rodney's known around Council Bluffs for his handmade pottery, wind chimes, planters, mugs, and one of a kind pieces, the kind of work that comes from decades at the wheel, not a factory line. That same eye for craft and function is what shaped the Potter's Peg. He built it to solve a problem he ran into himself, then kept refining it the way any potter refines a piece: by hand, one at a time, until it felt right.
