  • 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.

  • 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 :/

  • 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?

  • this looks like so much fun i beat its expensive where do you get your materials
