I love your angled pots. They have incredible shadows!

It's crazy how easy you make trimming and especially throwing pots look

You should do a live!

Thank you so much for all of your videos. I am almost one year into my pottery journey, and I have found your type of instruction the most useful of the many, many potters I follow closely.
I have a question about the sequence of trimming in this video. Since the rim ends up so thin, what is the reason for trimming the rim first and then putting the weight of the vase on it to trim the foot, rather than doing the foot first?
Thank you!

This was very informative thank you! I will definitely be using these tips for my ceramics course next semester. I did have a question though, have you ever made any “sculptural” work before? I’ve done it for two semesters now but don’t enjoy it as much as wheel throwing and trimming. If you have any sculptural work is it available to see? Thank you for such a lovely video :)

is there a specific brand of trimming tools you would recommend?
