i have added a picture on my clayart page
of a series of tools for dry trimming. this pix was
taken during my trip to china.

remember, the porcelain clay is very difficult to throw.
the thin delicate shape is finished with dry trimming.

there is no `good, bad, naughty or nice` with this
technique...it is, what they do. it is how they do it.
and have....for a thousand years or more.
