Centering to Trim

January 13, 2017| Posted in Featured Products| Lyla @ Baileys| 5263

You might find it relatively easy to center a round, symmetrical form on the potter's wheel for trimming just by placing coils of clay around the rim of the pot. But once you start to throw and alter forms many of them don't end up symmetrical. When it comes time to trim a foot on plates that have been squared off, pitchers with spouts and three-sided cups, centering for trimming can get a bit more complicated.

Thus we are launching this 'Centering to trim with the Bailey Quick Trim II' post.
