Voice so calming…so appreciative of your clean tools and wheel! My kind of studio. Love your channel.
Thank you so much! 😊
I have watched so many videos and this one has been the best one! Thank you!
Wow, thank you so much! 💖
Thanks, so glad I found your channel! Your friendly, straightforward instruction is top-tier.
Hi Suzanne. Thank you very much. Welcome to the wonderful world of crafting pottery. 😍
Marie, thank you so much for your videos. I have watched many other tutorials on throwing pottery, but your teaching style is the one I have been looking for! Going to be searching through all of your videos as I learn the craft!
That is most wonderful, Amy. Thank you. I'm so glad to help you on your fun journey of creating pottery. Any questions, comments, and suggestions are always welcome. 😊
My favorite: Revealing/ Opening the kiln after glazing!
I always like to show the final piece when ever I glaze. I know it takes longer but it so worth it. 😍
Ha! Love it!! I'm a former preschool teacher that advocates PLAY and Messy art enthusiasts. Love your playful spirit!!
you are really helping me to make progress! yesterday i watched your video about how to do a perfect cylinder, and it worked immediatly!
That is Awsome 😍 Good job. So glad they help. 💖
Love your tutorials, Marie. I learned a lot from you. You are a blessing. Thank you. One of the best teachers from TH-cam university 😅💕
Wow, Thank you! Glad to help you learn the art of pottery crafting 😍
@@PotteryCrafters 🙏🙏🙏💕
Love all your videos
Thank you Anne 😊
Trimming is one of my favorite parts of making pots 🙂. It’s so satisfying to see your finished piece.
Thank you, Laura. Mine too! I feel like the piece isn't finished on less the bottom has been trimmed in some way. The only time I don't trim is when I have waited too long and the bottom dried on me. 😄😊
Great job, thank you. Keep them coming. :)
Your comment is well appreciated 😀 Thank you very much 😍
So helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you ... you make it look so easy!!!
You are so welcome! Thank you Vicki.😍
SOOOOOOO helpful, Marie! I really enjoyed the slow motion part. It was just what I needed to help me be more confident in trimming in the future. Thank you!
That is Great Gretchen. Glad it was helpful! I didn't like trimming when I started pottery but felt the pot was incomplete. I'm glad I stock with it. Now I enjoy trimming 😊
Thank you for your great, informative and simple tips to help me improve!
Thank you Kendra. Happy to hear that!
Thank you for the tips ❤️
You're so welcome! 😍
I enjoy your videos very much, i find them very helpful and therapeutic !
That is great to hear. Thank you so much Suzana 😊
Incredible.
Thank you Deborah 😊
Thank you Marie!! This was most helpful. Very well explained and now I have a better grasp of how to use those 2 tools to trim my pieces.I have so many tools in my kit and not sure how to use them.
Looking forward to your next video.
You are so welcome Janet 💖 Glad it helped. 👍 Thank you for your support😊
Beautifully clear, helpful video, Marie! Quick question: I've seen you use your Giffin Grip in your other videos ~ do you now prefer to trim with or without it, and if so, what types of pieces? Or, did you decide to make this trimming video for those who do not own a Giffin Grip? Also I love when you put little facts about yourself in the videos, loving swimming, hummingbirds, kiln surprises and meditation! Fun to get to know you a bit from your videos, too! Thanks, as always, for sharing your knowledge!
Thank you Mary Jean💖 You are so right. I love to use my Giffin grip but knew not everyone had one so I had to show how I center without it. I also use clay logs for uneven pottery😊👍
As always....sooo helpful. Love your videos. Gonna be looking for your glazing videos...I love your way of explaining things...clear and concise...just what I need. Thank you.
Thanks so much 😊 That is wonderful to hear. Here is a playlist link of some of my glazing.

@PotteryCrafters Thank you for taking the time to send this list. I'm going to marathon watch them this afternoon. 👀❤️ I already know I'm going to learn a ton...
Thank you so much. If you have any questions feel free to ask. 😊
Thank you so much Marie, how would you trim a bowl with delicate edges like the one on the left? Do you use a different anchoring tool?
Hi Lauren. I think you are talking about the berry bowl. I trimmed it then I used the largest BLUECELL Clay Hole Cutter Here is the link geni.us/E2Sa5 I show how I trim it in this video about 10 minutes in th-cam.com/video/A5aM5uqJObA/w-d-xo.html
My pottery wheel is arriving today and I have been watching all kinds of videos for a couple of weeks in preparation. So excited! My question is about the wheel head having the pins sticking up if you aren't using a bat. Is that a hazard to be aware of? Also the splash pan on the elcheapo machine I bought, since I wanted to see if I could actually throw at my age, may be flimsy to use to brace my arm so do I need to not do that? And finally, years ago when I used slip with molds I was always having to treat my hands to keep from drying out with being in mud all day. None of the videos I've watched are addressing the skin care issues like this. I'd like to see something about it in a future video maybe. Thank you for all the explanations! I enjoy your instructions.
How exciting 😍 Great questions. Your bat pins come off. Should be a screw and wing nut. You should take them off when not using a bat. If the splash pan is too flimsy brace your arms on your legs or against the side of your body. YES, our hands do get dry from the clay. I use a lot of lotion plus when I glaze I use rubber or latex gloves. Here is a way to keep your hands soft. Put Lotion or Vaseline on your hands and put Cotton or Spa Gloves on overnight. Your hands will feel great in the morning! Enjoy your new Wheel 😊
Right now my favorite thing is throwing
My Favorite is also throwing. Isn't it wonderful and relaxing. Thank you for sharing Kat 😍
Thank you for another helpful video. I appreciate your tip to measure the amount of clay you have so I don't have to just guess! You raised a question, though - you mentioned glazing the bottom - when and how can you do that? Can you actually put glaze on the bottom (the recessed bottom inside the foot ring) and on the upper surfaces in one step and thus do only one glaze firing? Would you have to use a cookie if you did that?
Hi Susan. Yes after you have bisque fired. When you are glazing your pottery, you can apply glaze on the recessed bottom inside the foot ring only. I only apply one coat on the inside bottom. This helps with sweating and to insulate pottery, like mugs. 😊
@@PotteryCrafters Thank you for this very helpful bit of information! So not only would it help the appearance but also have a practical aspect as well. Does it have to be put on a cookie or can it go directly on the kiln shelf?
You're welcome Susan. As long as you have no glaze touching the kiln self you will not need a cookie. Just make sure the bottoms are clean. I use cookies when I apply thick or flowing glaze.
@@PotteryCrafters oh, thank you, Marie - this is what I needed to know! Thank you again!
Wonderful Susan, Happy glazing.😊
Who makes the best tools
For trimming I think Xiem does geni.us/1cR7f
Trimming is the thing i struggle with the most
I didn't trim because I was afraid I would ruin my pottery and I did 😄 But realized I could never get better if I avoided it. Measuring the thickness and taking off a small amount at a time helped the most😊 Oh yes, centering and practice also helped. Hope this video helps. Keep up the good work Kat. 💖
@@PotteryCrafters I will watch it again to get it down!
That's wonderful Kat. 😍👍
Can’t center so can’t trim 🤣😭
Centering was the hardest for me to learn. These videos may help. How to Center Clay in 5 Easy steps. Here is the link th-cam.com/video/eiJg_T4I0LU/w-d-xo.html and 11 Problems centering and how to fix them. Here is the link th-cam.com/video/GKS5GIb2j84/w-d-xo.html 😊
