This video covers the basics of trimming using two different techniques. The first is a very simple method you can use as soon as you're done throwing your pot on the wheel, and the second is a bit more in depth and includes how to trim a foot on the bottom of a leather-hard piece. You will see in the intro how each technique looks after the piece is completely finished so you can decide which method will work best for you! The first piece we use as an example was made by our own host, Kara Lane, and the second was made by the wonderful and accomplished potter, Birthe Flexner.
