timbo_heff Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 Ok- This issue is simple but has given me the MOST Grief!!! I cannot for the life of me get a pot to stay still for trimming. I have used wedges of clay on opposite sides (4) and sometimes crack the rim trying to press them down. And if I don't crack the rim, They get loose with spinning and my trimming starts to get all screwed up. I have seen a potter on youtube "wet" the wheel and "whack" the bottom of the bowl to create adhesian- which sometimes helps a little. I cannot for the life of me figure out what I am doing wrong. If I could solve my trimming issues, I would be a much happier potter. Please If you can include a photo of your technique It would help! This thing works great!: It is like the snapple cap idea but it is a mini lazy susan so you can really push down hard on it : great little tool : Piepenburg Pottery Trimming Disc With Instructional Dvd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
