Trimming a Jug

March 2000

Trimming a coffee pot or jug with a pouring spout that was pulled upward is simple, if you first centre a ball of clay on the wheelhead and cover it with a sheet of plastic. Then centre the upside down pot on the clay support. This gives the spout clearance above the wheelhead, while the footring is trimmed.
