How to Make Pottery Bowls : Trimming a Foot of Clay Pottery Bowls: Part 3

[Lavenderrose73]

Sweetness! I'm taking Beginning Ceramics and we have to make 10 bowls, and my first 3 look just aweful! And I felt so lost as to what I was supposed to do next because I couldn't remember my instructor's technique when he did the demo. I think it will help to watch these videos a few times.

Great job, well done. I've been watching pottery videos for about the last 6 months. When someone trims a foot I sometimes laugh and say to myself, don't do it that way. Well I got my wheel and I have thrown my first 3 cups. 3 disasters on the foots. Things are not that easy, you make it seem so effortlessly. I have to watch more videos on trimming. lol

The "words" blocking the video are ads that youtube puts there. Close the ad.

Is this difficult to do without a griffin grip? In school we use them. And I Noticed you weren't and you did an excellent job! :)

Best trimmed foot I've ever seen... I really like the way it looks and will try it on my pottery. Janice

I want to see what you're doing! But I CAN"T SEE! THOSE DAMN WORDS ARE BLOCKING YOU! I don't see the point of it I can hear you perfectly fine. FIX PLEASE :/

The pot BARELY MOVED, the centering was amazing, I could only tell it was going fast by looking at the wheel and the bottom pushed unevenly into the wheel.

Thank you for sharing your trimming technique. I never tried to trim this way, but would like to try. Where do you get the foam circle?  Also do you reuse the foam circle?

Thank you Lucia, for this series of tutorials.

Good explanations and good visuals.

The "personal" touch is also welcome!

Cheers
