Turning leather hard pots to finish the surface and level the bases. To turn you must find the centre of the pot this is not easy, by attaching the pot to the wheel with a bit of clay then trying to find the centre. Using a metal tool to shape and finish pots.

The recycled clay we were using had tiny particles of grog mixed in, this meant the grog bits dragged around the pots as they were turned leaving grooves/lines.

I also went too deep into a couple of pots breaking through the bottom. Advanced turning leaves elegant bases and smooth sides.
