Take the stress out of trimming your pots. Trimming is a crucial step in creating a pot on the wheel. It creates a stable foot, refines the shape, helps with wall uniformity and takes out extra weight. It’s an important part of wheel throwing, yet many potters find it difficult. Learn to trim with confidence and develop a style to make your pots stand out. We will use practice clay and cut trimmed pots in half. Feel free to bring your own pots to trim, but they must be made with 125 clay. Prerequisite: Wheel 1 or the ability to throw pots.
