"So since we've taken our potter's knife and by cleaning it up down here we also dried it out which makes it a lot easier to get off of the wheel head and I just saw that pass right through the bottom there so I know that the thickness is good so what you want to do is dry out your fingers and get up under there and try to lift. Sometimes it will get stuck on there and if it is not wanting to come off of your bat which that's not going to want to come off the bat so just let it set up on the bat, no problem, if you are in business you should have about 20 of these bats anyway, let it set up for a little bit and you should be able to just pop it right on off. And that is how you make a jardiniere."
