phill Posted April 10, 2016 Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 Anyone understand how to get such a fuzzy trim mark? Fuzzy isn't the best work, but it looks like the clay is torn rather than trimmed. Is it because there is a lot of sand in the clay? Or because the clay is really short? Or another reason? This photo is a cup made by Bandana Pottery and found on instagram.

bciskepottery Posted April 10, 2016 Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 Clay is groggy and you use a blunt piece of wood . . . like a tongue depressor or popsicle stick. You don't trim on throwing wheel, but on a banding wheel where you can just remove a section at a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxden Posted April 10, 2016 Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 It looks like not only heavily grogged, but it likely was trimmed pretty wet, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph Fireborn Posted April 10, 2016 Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 a method similar to this but with a more sandy clay and a more blunt tool like bruce talked about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Callie Beller Diesel Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 Those guys do a lot of reductive forming and carving. Almost certain they use the edge of some kind of wooden rib or knife, and I don't know that something as high tech as a banding wheel is involved. I believe they dig their own clay, too.

oldlady Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 diesel, that looks like a fairly recent shimpo banding wheel. it is well abraded by the rough clay but it has the division marks that are not found on older ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bciskepottery Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 Around the 17:00 minute mark . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biglou13 Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 i don't own a shimpo banding wheel, but i'm accepting donations, new or old one.... or the large 2 foot diameter banding wheel not available here in US Kurinuki is Japanese teminiolgy for had carved, dug out process.... While I use a wooden knife or bamboo knife, Much of the forming process is with modern tools..... Dolan I have to admit it is a difficult process.......

Callie Beller Diesel Posted April 24, 2016 Report Share Posted April 24, 2016 Here's a good shot of Lisa Hammond using a (sharpened?) wooden tool to carve a foot ring into really groggy clay. Look at about the 1:15 mark. The whole video is good though, and I think that Bandana Pottery and Hammond work in a similar vein. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
