Trimming a Pot on the Wheel

Video Transcript

"Alright so now our second run should be a little drier in there. I'll match them up, and I'm not really going for too much of a shape here because I'm going to put my final shape into it when it's off of the wheel head. Alright. Just like that. I'm using these ribs almost as an extension of my fingers. I can feel what's going on. I know how thick I'm getting or I know how thin I'm going. So now that I've removed the majority of the slip from this piece here I'm going to get it off of the ribs and put in the slip bucket. I'm going to go and clean up this guy here, maybe put a little one of these in there. Just a little shaping. I want it to come down and give it a little loop, then clean up the bottom just like that. Do some wheel trimming. You can get your hand down there if you want. Just like that. Alright. Done. Don't be down there messing around because you don't want to just throw your life away here. It's not all about throwing. So we want to get this off of the wheel and we want to start altering it because that's fun."
