Throwing a Wide Rim Pasta Plate on the Pottery Wheel

In this video I’m going to throw a wide rim pasta plate in the pottery wheel. I want to make a set of plates so I use a gauge to set the height to control the size. I also make uneven edge to give organic character. I hope you enjoy the video☺️

Thank you Jodi😊

Thank you for describing each step, especially those that are easily missed by the viewer. For example, you described how you captured and moved the soft clay with a thumb or finger and then reused it as a lubricant. If you had not pointed this out, I would have missed it completely.

I love the shape of these plates, and it was wonderful to watch your process. I had a question :). I wondered why you cut the rim on the wheel when it is wet in the first stage, versus after the leather hard stage when you trim the foot?

[@AlchemyCeramic]

Thank you for your comment Malcolm😊 It is a good question! No one asked before but it is important for me. The reason is an aesthetic preference. If I cut the waves at the leather hard stage I found the appearance becomes very flat and artificial. I use that technique when I want to make very formal style. Most of my works are individual work even dinner set. When I cut the waves before I open the rim, the stretched waves became something beyond my force. I love that effect. I can never make same waves again🤩. I see the beauty in the uncontrolled parts. This comes from my main philosophy “Wabi- Sabi”
