Throwing on the Wheel | Wide and Low!

Trying to throw a water bowl for my dog and a large serving plate today. 5-6lbs of clay each, lets see what we can do!

Good video. Tanks.

[@Lisa.Riland]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it

[@jaydelo7346]

One of your best videos. The explanation of techniques like holding the thumb on the outer edge and praying at 6 o'clock was most interesting. Also I loved the goose and dog story.

Thank you so so much! Glad you enjoyed it

Awesome large forms, thanks for sharing. I would love to see how you make your plaster bats. I've never used one but it deems they could be quite useful.

[@Lisa.Riland]

Thank you so much!! I’ll definitely try to do a quick tutorial video on marking them. It’s easy just messy, but they last forever. I have yet to break one.

Gorgeous platter! Can’t wait to see it finished. Would love a tutorial on how to make the plaster bats

[@Lisa.Riland]

Thank you so much! For the bats I really just mix up some pottery plaster and use drip trays (for planters) as a mold. It’s super simple (messy of course) but I’ll work on a video on it hopefully soon!

[@loreliemiller628]

@@Lisa.Riland okay thanks. It looked like the bottom has a texture or are both sides smooth? And how thick do you make them? Great videos

[@Lisa.Riland]

Yeah, the texture on the bottom comes from the mold and then the top is smooth. It would probably be fine if both sides were smooth, but most drip trays you’ll find have a raised pattern, so the plaster forms around that. I have some that are about 3/4in (18mm) and others that are about 1/2 in (12mm) and both work well.
