Trimming

I tried trimming my pots that I made last night. But they were still too wet. So I placed them in front of a fan to try to speed up the drying time. 
I placed the bowl upside down and started to trim off the extra along the bottom. 
Then I finished it with signing  my name and putting the year on it. 
Next this bowl will wait in a shelf until it's "bone" dry. Once all the water has evaporated the clay will look grayish- white. Then it will be fired for the first time. This is called "bisque" once it's cooled I can glaze the bowl. 
Here are some of the glaze colors that I think I'll use.
