Trimming Plates

Welcome to my tutorial on trimming plates on the potter’s wheel! In this video, I will show you how to take a thrown plate and smooth the inside, trim a foot, refine the edges, and shape using trimming tools.

First, I will demonstrate how to use a rib to smooth and even out the surface of the plate. Next, I will demonstrate how to use a trimming tool to create a clean, defined edge and foot.

Throughout the tutorial, I will provide tips and techniques for achieving a successful trim and a beautifully finished plate.

So grab your tools and join me as we guide you through the process of trimming plates on the potter’s wheel!
