Last Tuesday I was lucky enough to be invited to a fantastic demonstration by master potter MoonDoBang at 'Cernamic' in London: https://www.cernamic.com
I've followed Mr. Moon for years now on the web, so it was an absolute pleasure watching him throw and trim pots off the hump. He's a machine, a technical wizard and the few hours we spent together sped by and I learnt a lot. He also very kindly gifted me this trimming tool, together with some pots I'll treasure and use. In this video I'm putting that trimmer to the test—I'm also throwing off the hump! So, enjoy watching me struggle with all of that as it's been a very long time since I've thrown off the hump properly.
Thank you for taking your time to watch! It means a lot.
