Cutting a Wide Foot

Hey there.  Just shot a quick video showing how I cut a foot on a small shallow dish.  I like the wide dimension of these feet and that they are sort of deep.  I have this in mind when making these so plenty of clay is left at the making stage.  The cutting of the foot, the marks made, the shape and size of the foot is another chance to make an expression on/ with the pot.  The tool used creates a specific mark too, or the way the tool is held.

Feet shouldn't be afterthoughts.  Plan them when making the pot.  There are many variations to choose from, this is just one.
