Trimming For Beginners + Tap Centering Trick

#ceramic #pottery #trimming

This is a very basic explanation on how to get on your way to trimming your first bowl/pot/cup, ect.
---------------
I really hope this video helps a lot of people learning how to center before trimming their first pot. + a little trick on how to surpass all of those steps by Tap entering.
REMEMBER when putting clay down to keep the bowl centered DO NOT push into the bowl. push next to it.
Griffin grips are ok too but don't use them so much that you cripple yourself and cant trim without one.

I swear I learn more from your videos then I have in any class I've taken.

I love your sense of humor. I am completely entertained while I am learning. Best combination for instruction. Thank you!

Thanks so much for taking the time to explain how critical it is to trim pots at the appropriate dryness level. Most instructors skim over this step because they assume that students know this. They DON'T. It is the most important thing anyone can ever teach about ceramics, IMHO. I've been doing ceramics for 10 years and am having to learn and re-learn so many things. I spend much of my time viewing videos such as yours to pick up useful tips and tricks because most instructors don't really take the time to teach the basics. Kudos to you for your in-depth analysis!

You are fantastic, this is the first thumbs up I've given the pottery videos as you are clear and make so much sense. Thanks!

Thank you for all these tips! I struggled a ton with trimming and watched this video and then was able to trim really nice feet! Thank you sooo much!!

[madisonhartslief]

Started pottery on the wheel early this year and haven’t trimmed yet…. properly. Thank you so much for your tips and tricks. And I just have to say, I absolutely love your humour, it makes me laugh all the time!! Thank you again!

“The first thing you do is pick it up and look at the bottom.” So true! I have been known to dump the contents of a cup because I was checking out the bottom.
