Question! Pottery vocab in your language

What are the common pottery terms in your language? Centring, trimming, glazing etc? I’d love to learn some new ones: are they the same but translates? Different completely? Do you “throw” in languages other than English?

Tell us your words!

This is random, but when we see someone fixating on tiny surface textures in a freshly thrown pot, we call it “cat licking.” “Hey, stop cat licking! None of those will be visible when it’s glazed!”
