need to borrow or rent a potter's wheel in san diego

Here is a bit more info on the need for a wheel and some firing space in
San Diego for the Guy Wolff event:

The dates are actually April 23-25 that the wheel would be needed.
(Saturday 4/24 is the date of the throwing at the Garden-ology store, so
figuring a day in advance for set up, and then returning it).

Net proceeds from the event will be donated to the Childrens' Hospital &
Health Center of San Diego.

Any help that could be offered to direct us to a source for rental or use
of an electric wheel, and some firing space for the pots, and a supplier
from which to purchase clay, would be greatly appreciated.

All the best,

Hi Folks,

Is there anyone in the San Diego area that could loan or rent a potter's
wheel for a throwing demo at a local store? My friend Guy Wolff will be
doing a demo at the Garden-ology store in Encinitas the first weekend of
May. Usually at store events like this, customers sign up to buy the pots
that Guy makes, which are then fired, and sold, with the proceeds going to
benefit a charity that helps kids with cancer. We need to find both a
wheel and access to a kiln, (these would be garden pots that just need to
be fired to cone 03)

If you might be able to offer some assistance, please contact me at:
