For your grandpa who enjoys learning pottery wheel throwing, I recommend considering the following gift ideas that will enhance his passion for this art form:

1. Pottery Wheel: A reliable pottery wheel would be an exceptional gift for your grandpa. Look for a high-quality, durable, and user-friendly model that suits his skill level and expertise. This will allow him to continue practicing and perfecting his pottery techniques at home.

2. Pottery Classes: Consider gifting your grandpa pottery classes or workshops led by professional potters. These can provide him with opportunities to learn new techniques, refine his skills, and meet like-minded individuals who share the same passion for pottery.

3. Pottery Tools Set: A comprehensive pottery tools set would be a practical and thoughtful gift. These sets often include a variety of tools such as clay carving tools, shaping ribs, wire cutters, and more. Your grandpa will appreciate having the necessary tools to create different shapes and designs with ease.

4. Pottery Studio Membership: If there are local pottery studios or art centers nearby, a membership would make an excellent present. This gives your grandpa access to professional equipment, kilns, glazes, and a creative community. It's a great way for him to experiment, create, and continue his pottery journey.

5. Pottery Books: Explore a selection of pottery books that cater specifically to his interests and skill level. There are numerous books available, ranging from beginner tutorials to advanced techniques, glazing ideas, and historical references. These books can serve as an inspiration and educational resource for your grandpa.

6. Pottery Glazes and Clay: Your grandpa would appreciate receiving a variety of pottery clays and glazes as a gift. There are different types of clays, such as earthenware, stoneware, and porcelain, each offering unique characteristics and effects when fired. Likewise, various glazes can add color, depth, and texture to his pottery creations.

7. Pottery Magazine Subscription: A subscription to a pottery magazine or online publication would provide your grandpa with regular updates, insights, and inspiration from the pottery world. These publications often include tutorials, artist features, and tips that can further enhance his pottery skills and knowledge.

8. Pottery Exhibition or Workshop Tickets: Search for pottery exhibitions or workshops happening in your area and gift your grandpa tickets to attend. This will allow him to admire pottery masterpieces, connect with experienced potters, and gain new ideas and perspectives for his own work.

Remember, the most meaningful gift for your grandpa is one that reflects his passion for pottery wheel throwing. By choosing a gift that aligns with his interests and supports his creative journey, you are sure to make this Christmas truly special for him.

Or you can get him a star map with an important date you share.
