With the wheel going again at a moderate speed, we're going to use our wood trim tool with
the curved edge, to, at the three o'clock position, to hold it like a pencil and then
draw a line down with the tool, you've reached the plaster bat. We're going to clear away
the excess clay. And the reason for doing this, it will allow us more room to extend
the piece further. It might be necessary to go back a little bit just to clear out more
of that clay. The further under there you can clear up, the more you can work with to
extend the form, with a wider, flatter shape. And cleaning out the excess moisture, the
water, is critical.
