My teacher Cynthia (see link at right) says I’m the first student in 1,000 that has used the trimmings from the pots back with the pots again.

Trimmings are the clay bits that you carve or spin off when the pot is “leather” hard. Basically, you get to reshape your pot at this point. It’s not that I’m into saving everything — I just love texture and all these bits add lovely texture to my boxes that represent the seabed my pots lie in.
