Marie, thank you so much for your videos. I have watched many other tutorials on throwing pottery, but your teaching style is the one I have been looking for! Going to be searching through all of your videos as I learn the craft!

[malibu]

Ha! Love it!! I'm a former preschool teacher that advocates PLAY and Messy art enthusiasts. Love your playful spirit!!

My favorite: Revealing/ Opening the kiln after glazing!

[larahfn]

[funnyly]

Love your tutorials, Marie. I learned a lot from you. You are a blessing. Thank you. One of the best teachers from YouTube university 😅💕

[lauradavenport]

Trimming is one of my favorite parts of making pots 🙂. It’s so satisfying to see your finished piece.

[kendrarichards]

Thank you for your great, informative and simple tips to help me improve!

[PatFitzgerald-hncs]

As always....sooo helpful. Love your videos. Gonna be looking for your glazing videos...I love your way of explaining things...clear and concise...just what I need. Thank you.

[nineredberries]

Can you do a video on trimming the other end of the bowl please. Is it recommended? Thank you. 😊

[janet]

Thank you Marie!! This was most helpful. Very well explained and now I have a better grasp of how to use those 2 tools to trim my pieces.I have so many tools in my kit and not sure how to use them.
Looking forward to your next video.

[maryjeanallen]

Beautifully clear, helpful video, Marie! Quick question: I've seen you use your Giffin Grip in your other videos ~ do you now prefer to trim with or without it, and if so, what types of pieces? Or, did you decide to make this trimming video for those who do not own a Giffin Grip? Also I love when you put little facts about yourself in the videos, loving swimming, hummingbirds, kiln surprises and meditation! Fun to get to know you a bit from your videos, too! Thanks, as always, for sharing your knowledge!

[gretchenwilson-tuck]

helpful, Marie! I really enjoyed the slow motion part. It was just what I needed to help me be more confident in trimming in the future. Thank you!

[vickivanriel]

Thank you ... you make it look so easy!!!

[quitelauren]

Thank you so much Marie, how would you trim a bowl with delicate edges like the one on the left? Do you use a different anchoring tool?

[dkgrace]

Great job, thank you. Keep them coming. :)

My pottery wheel is arriving today and I have been watching all kinds of videos for a couple of weeks in preparation. So excited! My question is about the wheel head having the pins sticking up if you aren't using a bat. Is that a hazard to be aware of? Also the splash pan on the elcheapo machine I bought, since I wanted to see if I could actually throw at my age, may be flimsy to use to brace my arm so do I need to not do that? And finally, years ago when I used slip with molds I was always having to treat my hands to keep from drying out with being in mud all day. None of the videos I've watched are addressing the skin care issues like this. I'd like to see something about it in a future video maybe. Thank you for all the explanations! I enjoy your instructions.
