The thin strips of clay or similar ceramic material in its 'wet' form is used for joining pieces, making rings for handbuilding pottery.

Note to reference poster
Asker: Thanks Rod, but 'my' trafila is used to produce ceramics objects - I'm not sure the reference you gave is the same - or maybe I'm mistaken?
