building on the skills learnt on week 1, you will be shown how to shape and keep a bowl form piece for the following class to trim.
Week 3: Introduction to trimming
you will learn to take your created piece back to the wheel to trim and neaten the edges; you will need to chose your best 6 pots/bowls from all you have made for firing and take home at the end of the course.
