Drafting Chairs & Stools — Expert Answer
Can a drafting stool be used at a pottery wheel?
A standard drafting stool is generally not the right chair for a pottery wheel since pottery wheels sit much lower than counter height (most potters' wheels have a table height of 28"–36" with the work surface at even lower heights). The ideal seating for a pottery wheel is a specific pottery stool or bench in the 16"–20" seat height range. However, if you're doing pottery at a counter-height wedging table or glazing area (which can be at counter height), a drafting stool is perfectly appropriate. For the wheel itself, look for a purpose-built pottery stool.
