Am I right in saying the potters of your region don't trim the foot after taking it off the wheel? I haven't seen any trimmed feet, although some have a wide foot just above the cut-off place, so it almost looks like a trimmed foot. Has the older crock-style foot continued to influence the finishing of the bottom? Asking because I'm studying the Southern Appalachian pottery tradition, to carry it forward in my own work. Your work is amazing, and I so appreciate your video sharing a glimpse of it!
Great storytelling from Ben Owen - a champion of Seagrove and an advocate for the entire community of creative potters.
