thanks for the video. I use stoneware with grog for my large platters like this, however I still get cracking during the glaze firing (cone 9-10). Haven't found a good solution yet, but I suspect its because of the stress created from one side being glazed, and the bottom underside is unglazed.

This was a really good lesson in large plates/platters for me. I've been striving to make some big platters and have flopped and warped too many to count. So many good reminders in this video and so many tips that are new to me. Can't wait to get back into the studio next week. I use hand made bisque stamps all the way around the rim on my big platters and I think this is why so many warp. Maybe just because so much clay is displaced when I stamp them. Do you have any tips that might help with this issue. The warping I get is usually taco style, where opposite sides of the rim warp upwards a little bit and the other two sides either go down or stay about right.
@Vsmithpots6 ай бұрын
It may be a drying issue, I wrap the rims with Saran Wrap while allowing the centres to dry. I also store my pieces in a damp cupboard so that there are no drafts across them, which can cause edges to dry on one side thus lifting up. Slow drying is always better than fast drying.

Your explanations are very helpful, and your throwing is inspiring. Thank you for making the effort to record your process and your reasons for doing the little things that make a difference. One question: Do you wedge your clay before throwing with it on the wheel? It seems as though you just cone the lumps together on the wheel rather than wedging beforehand. Is this accurate, or do you prepare your clay another way before using it? Thanks!
@Vsmithpots3 жыл бұрын
I do not wedge new clay out of the bag. That is de-aired pugged clay and I have never seen the point. Some potters wedge clay to loosen up the particles so that it centres easier. I have never had that trouble, so why wear out your wrists and get Carpal tunnel.

@Vsmithpots2 жыл бұрын
I do not fire it to cone 6. I found that pieces cracked after the firing. I think the clay becomes too stressed above cone 5. Some glazes may make this more likely, depending on their compression and glaze fit. My advice is to use a cone six clay like 516 from PSH in Toronto. It is similar to B-mix 5. I still use B-mix 5 and it is my favourite throwing clay, I just fire it to Cone4 & 5.
