Experience of Master Artisan Gloria Trujillo with the QUARK Wheel and Pedal
The QUARK wheel and pedal have been evaluated by expert ceramist Gloria Trujillo from Ceràmiques Sedó, who highlights their excellent performance and ease of use. Below, we share her opinion.
The QUARK Wheel: Small but "Packed with Power".
Despite its compact size, the QUARK wheel impresses with its power and stability. It maintains a constant speed even when pressure is applied to the clay, allowing for precise and uninterrupted work. Its adjustable speed makes it easy to perform various techniques, adapting perfectly to the needs at any given moment.
Another strong point is its quiet operation, producing a soft sound that does not interfere with concentration. Additionally, its practical and ergonomic design makes it very easy to clean, especially with its splash guard tray, which is removable and magnetic—an innovative feature that enhances the user experience.
The QUARK wheel is also remarkably easy to operate: starting it and changing the direction of the wheelhead is an intuitive and hassle-free process. Its modern and functional aesthetic makes it a pleasure to use both visually and operationally. It’s "a gem for the workshop".
The QUARK Pedal: Precision and Freedom of Movement.
The QUARK wheel’s pedal is another highlight of this equipment. Connecting it to the wheel is quick and straightforward, with clear instructions in the manual for an easy, trouble-free setup.
One of its major advantages is that it can remain in a fixed position, eliminating the need to keep the foot constantly pressed on it. This provides greater freedom of movement and a more comfortable posture during the creative process.
Additionally, the pedal offers exceptional precision when stopping the wheel, which is crucial for techniques that require exact control and precise stopping of the wheelhead’s motion.
Note: The wheel pedal is not included in the package and is an optional accessory that can be purchased separately.
