Trimming Research 9/19

I have always struggled with trimming vessels on the wheel. I have been doing research and watching videos to improve my skill. I would love to have a beautiful, more finished look on some of my bowls. I found this video in particular interesting because the potter used a needle tool to see if the vessel was centered. I always have trouble with centering before I trim. The tap method is difficult for me. This is because it is hard for me to visualize what direction to tap the vessel to see if it is centered. The needle approach looks like it will be helpful. I feel this way because I will be able to see the area the needle hit the vessel, and be able to move it in the opposite direction. Hopefully this tip will help me as I trim my pieces this week!
