Trimming a Fruit Bowl - Footed

TO foot or not to foot! Thats often a question for most potters. Well here is how to trim a functional foot that serves as a pedestal, a grip zone for glazing and a safe zone for glazing. Have fun and enjoy

I’ve seen many trim demos - most of whom trim somewhat similarly to you. No one has ever explained the how and the why like you’ve done before however. Very helpful. Thank you.

You are a terrific teacher. You speak clearly in a methodical direction. I've watched many of your videos and look forward to watching more.

you explained this very well! I agree, this is the best trimming tutorial on youtube

This is the best trimming tutorial! I’m not so good to make (yet😂) such a big bowl, but your explanation show me how to make a small bowl with a perfect foot. So many potters just show how “to do a foot” while throwing, but a piece with a trimmed foot is so much elegant! Thank you for the video

What great directions. I have been struggling with trimming.

This is extremely helpful! Thank you so much - I now understand what is behind how to make the foot! Yay!

What are we to learn at minute 15:35??? 🤔

Do you wax the entire foot or just the ring? Wondering about how much foot to leave (in general) if you plan to glaze the bottom.

How do you sign your pottery? What tool?
