Temporality

This steps takes place after a drying time. The pots needs to have the right consistency to be scraped. The potter influences the consistency by putting the pots in the shade or in the sun. In this video we can see that she asked CdF to take back pots that were drying in the sun.

Intent

The aim of this step is to thin the walls. If it is not done, the pot will be too heavy
