Blue Plate Special - Plate Throwing Tutorial

Are you ready to make some fabulous plates? No? Is it because you need a little help? Well, here it is. In this video I show you 4 different ways to throw a plate. From the classic “spaghetti” plate, to a modern classic, to a simple cheat to throwing a square plate. Yes! I can do that and I’ll show you how.
Get ready for some simple tips, things to think about and ways to organize your thoughts and practice. I hope to show you the path to a lovely dinner table.
Let’s get creative!
Or let’s just blow off the next 15 minutes of work and just enjoy yourself.

Still in my beginnings of pottery. I have spent so much time perfecting my clay(I make it myself!) that I haven’t had time to use my wheel at all. I will after this video! Thank you so much, awesome work!!!!

[@mannirsani6920]

Thanks the machine is an surfriz I like to have it

[@robertspicer421]

very nice work, do you trim a foot on them

[@claywithsallyannestahl8130]

Yes, I usually do. Though, there are times I don’t. It depends on how thick I throw it.

[@franav539]

Cómo los cocinas para que no se te partan, pasa que a veces ,por la presion al tornear el plato, tienden a quebrarse por lo apretado?. Que componentes tiene tu pasta?

[@claywithsallyannestahl8130]

No estoy seguro de lo que quieres decir con "cocinar" y "pasta" en un video sobre cómo hacer cerámica. ¿Me estoy perdiendo de algo?

[@franav539]

Well, what can I tell you, I asked to dispel doubts, in Spanish we say "pasta" to the mixture of clays and with respect to "cooking" I can't find a way to justify it (although it seems normal to me, I usually use that word, I'm also a potter, and I've been practicing for two years. Although a year ago I didn't have the experience I have now), I understand the paranoia, mate. If you think I missed a message between the lines, I apologize. I don't know how it got away from me, if I practice mindfulness LOL

[@mannirsani6920]

شكرا

[@xyzbakedgoods]

great video! I especially like the first plate! How many pounds of clay were you using? Sorry, you may have said so, but I missed it:)

[@claywithsallyannestahl8130]

Can’t remember, but 3-4 pounds for 9” dinner plate.

[@ellane-d9w]

[@kathleenclarke828]

this is annoying music! spectacular demo.

[@claywithsallyannestahl8130]

😂😂😂, but videos are weirder without music. But, I will be turning down the volume on future videos. Thanks.

[@kathleenclarke828]
