Tip of the Week

Trimming pots that aren´t quite leather hard
Sometimes it is difficult to catch a pot at the perfect leather hard stage for trimming. But if you try trimming when the clay is too wet, the trimmings gum up your tools and get stuck to the piece. But you can do this if you keep the pot well lubricated with water during trimming. Dip your hand in a bucket of water and spread it over the pot. Do this periodically, and the trimmings slide off easily. Try it! Just be careful of pushing too hard if you´ve trimmed a lot and used a lot of water, as your piece may have softened up and you may push it out of shape.
