This week's video goes over a handful of my trimming secrets, together with discussing the process of finishing one of these tiny, angular bowls on the potter's wheel. They are tricky objects to turn, especially hollowing out the tall foot-ring, but there's a few things I do to make it easier. I hope you find this video helpful, and as always, thanks SO much for taking your time to watch.
