Trimming Moldy Plates

This week I'm trimming some simple plates, thrown with stoneware that was extraordinarily moldy after sitting in my bucket of reclaim for far too long. The stuff stank, so I chose to quickly throw the soft clay into plates, as they take seconds to make. I quite like the tonal difference you'll see in this video... let me know what you think! And as always, I'll do my best to answer any questions you might have in the comments.
