off the wheel

[haruhichan]

hi, can someone please tell me what off the wheel pottery is?
i found it in a poem and the verse is
"off the wheel a small bit of clay goes a long way"

does anyone know if it has a specific translation in other languages?in French for instance, or as if it should be taken literally.

thank u
