Days when only a from ya boots "fucccck' will do! Sorry bout the bowl Lilly but the plate looks darling 😊 Hugely inspired by you after having to give up work due to a disability from birth kicking my butt I am starting my ceramics journey. Always wanted to but never enough hours - my first beat up kiln has just arrived. No money for a wheel so im binge watching you on yours! Wishing you all the continued success girlie 🌈

This is a really nice tutorial!! That shattered bowl could probably be ground into grog for future use.

I'm new to your channel and had to use a converter to find out pounds from a kilogram!😅 That is a much smaller amount than I would have used, but your plate has a clean line, and I'm sure is nicely light to handle. You've inspired me to try your technique!

You’re awesome!! We’ve all done it

I have figured out that if I throw plates on a plastic bat, that I don't need to cut it. It naturally releases, and is super smooth on the bottom. No cracking or warping so far.🎉

I really like the way these plates look! I'm going to start throwing plates soon and I was wondering, with this style and especially for the hospitality industry, have you ever been told that they are hard to pick up from a flat surface? This seems to be a downside of this style of plate. Keen to hear your thoughts :)

I did the exact same thing to my tool holding pot today:( Shattered Love your videos!

[@juanQuedo]

the bowl would have been a good candidate to practice some "kintusgi" style repairs

[@lynnenewell6812]

Lovely demo but do they stack? Sorry about the bowl 😮

[@MaeCeramics]

Heya! They do if you make them all the same size. I’ll do a tutorial on how to make a plate with a wider stepped lip though as they stack really well!

[@lynnenewell6812]

That would be great as my son says he only wants modern plates and bowls that stack in his drawers and mine do but not exactly… I do straight sided plates too but can’t get them stacking … love your videos! Thanks Lynne NZ

[@shelleydoxtdator753]

Yep 👍 I would say the same 😑f@#$

Love your videos - your journeys through clay are great ❤ thank you 😊
