How to Trim a Thrown Plate- on a Giffin Grip

In this video, I show my students how to trim a basic foot on an average plate. The plate in the video is a tiny bit different in wetness from one side to the other, that is why the foot isn't entirely even. (I just wanted to hurry and get the video shot rather than wait another night! I use a Giffin Grip to hold the plate centered- it makes quick and easy work of holding the form upside-down!

This video is for my students in Ceramics I, II, and III (Wheel Throwing) at William Mason High School, in Mason, Ohio as well as anyone in the general public that just wants to learn a bit more about working with clay! If you want more specific information on other methods of throwing, or even just the beginning stages of centering, dropping, or opening, check out some of my other videos!

I am a high school ceramics teacher (and occasionally digital arts too) and I have my own pottery business I do from home on nights and weekends.
