Best- Better Foot Placement for trimming a wheel thrown bowl, and examples of what NOT to do

A helpful discussion with examples of how to correctly trim a wheel-thrown bowl, complete with examples of what NOT to do! Great for those that are trying to figure out how to make their pots more consistent, pleasing forms. I made this video for my students who struggle from time to time with remembering some of the keys in well-executed trimming.

In the video, I am showing a new product to me, the CI Sticky Pad. Available at: buyciproducts.com I was sent the sticky pad by CI to try out for potential videos. I have another video really demonstrating the use of that when texturing a bowl on a banding wheel.

I am a public high school ceramics teacher at William Mason High School in Mason, Ohio. (Mason is currently the largest high school in Ohio!) As a potter, I have been working in clay for over 30 years, and I have been teaching for over 28 years, the past 20 have been specifically teaching high school ceramics. I love what I do! I have my own studio in my home basement, where I work on my personal pottery for my Etsy site; https://www.etsy.com/shop/KaransPotsA...

I started my Youtube channel a few years ago, to make videos to help my students if they are absent and miss a demo, or if they would like to explore more advanced techniques independently. I have been amazed to reach such a wider audience than my own students!

Please subscribe to my channel if you would like to receive channel updates, or would like to learn more about clay and studio processes!
