The Most Underrated Pottery Tool

Okay, this is a nerdy one, a video specifically about a tool you'll see all the time when watching my videos. It's a spinner, a potentially incredible simple object that's used to pin pots against the wheel-head as they're trimmed. That's really all they do, yet, if you unpick that a tiny bit and really look at how much easier it makes this process as compared to using just your fingertips, you'll understand just what a difference it makes. As promised, below you'll find links to spinner suppliers, none of which are sponsored—this video is NOT an advert. Thanks so much for watching!
