From throwing to finish glazing, the complete process explained and portrayed in this video. Tricks of the trade, sizes and weights of clay and a complete glazing lesson to boot.
It was fun to see the tea bowls in the background 😊 and guess what, they arrived today! They are just gorgeous 🥰 And again thank you for a great video!!
When we moved here it seemed natural to develop images that are around us, I think Devon and Cornwall would inspire the same creative spirit. On vertical surfaces it is hard to do so I dip using three glazes only, although I can then use foam sponges to add elements of landscape.
Wonderful process video and I enjoyed the casual conversation, like a fireside chat. Was wondering if you glaze the back of the rims following the front glaze pattern or just one glaze? The plates are beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
Yes I do glaze the back of the rims. I turn them upside down on a banding wheel and use a hake brush with the oatmeal glaze. Thanks for the compliments.
I know I have responded before, but I wanted to let you know that this video taught me to make the saucer for a planter pot I made for my sister. Thank you!
Blessings in an abundance of the faith. I salute you. 😘🙏👣🎚️🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍 Grace and peace be unto you and to this place. Thank you for this teaching. Thank you for your guidance through this technique. What it made me think of was the process of being on the wheel inside the wheel in the hands of the potter. As a new Christian even, the process. This helps me with forgiveness and refinement and to know how to keep the faith. This is wondrous to me. I appreciate it. Will you believe and receive Jesus Christ as your lord and personal saviour??? I do. God is good all the time. 🌈🙏
Your plate throwing tutorials the best . Thank you for your generosity in teaching . I like working according to measurements as Im a beginner . The three important ones for me are thickness of the plate (gathered its 5mm), distance rim from bottom at first throw (gathered that is 1cm) and weight clay medium size plate (this one I couldn’t figure - would you say 800 grams?)
I use 2200gms for a dinner plate, then I have a 9 inch plate 700gms and a 7 inch 500gms plate . Those are guesses because I do not weigh my clay, I divide my clay bags 16 pieces from 10 kilos for the 9 inch plate, and 22 pieces for the 7 inch plate.
Good reminders and pointers throughout. Love the results Vaughan. Was the first glaze you poured on transparent? This morning I am single firing the first four test tiles in the Paragon. I extruded 72 and used Iron Lustre as the base for the first lot of 18 with other glazes going on as second coat. Hoping they come out well. I have used a piece of PVC to flatten out plates I have made in the past and will give that a break and use your method the next time around. Your videos always have guid instruction and are easy to watch during breakfast. Drinking my water out of your tea bowl and my tea out of a mug from Potter's Journal by Jeff Kohut.....Life IS grand!
Thank you for the link to this video. I haven’t attempted throwing a plate yet. I’m still trying to recover from Covid and regain enough strength to start throwing again. In the mean time I’ve been hand-building. I loved watching this glazing technique. It’s amazing to me the quantity of work you’re able to produce. Out of curiosity how long have you owned your studio and showroom? Did you start off smaller scale working from your home or out of a shared studio? As always I appreciate you and all the knowledge you share. Stay healthy! 😊
@@Vsmithpots I think people would really enjoy hearing all about how you got started, how long it took to get to a comfortable place and definitely how you market. That would be great. 😊
I hope.you have your strength back. It sure is a rough virus! Don't over do it too soon. Good questions, I would like to watch that video also. I bet it will sure be a lot of work to create. Vaughn is so generous with his videos and teaching. I think he is the only one who responds to pretty much everyone.
As with everyone else, thank you for taking the time and effort to carefully explain your process. I love the effect developed by your pouring action with the glazes. My question is: how do you deal with the small amount of glaze that runs around to the bake side of the plate? I noticed it on the plate you were showing us. Thanks for taking to the time to consider and answer my simple question!
Good idea, I have found the clay builds up in them over time too. I use the large harp with a guitar wire stretched across, it leaves almost no clay on the bat.
please tell me where you purchase your clay. How wonderful to see a Canadian potter sharing and educating us. Can you give us more info please on where you purchase your product/slip, clay, tools
Fantastic!! Another super informative video. I watched it twice because you really are a wonderful instructor. Do you glaze the back of the plate or back of the rim of the plate? Thank you again.
I have never measured. I make them as thin as I can without the rim collapsing. My guess is the flat part of the plate is 5ml, when I cut through with my guitar strung harp I can see the wire cutting through.
Crawling is a glaze fit problem. It can also be caused by dirt or grease on the pot when you glaze it, also glaze applied too thick or has too much clay in the glaze formulae.
what a wonderful instructor you are ...thank you so very much!
the glazes came out beautifully! can't wait to try it out
I love all the colors you put on your plates
You just make it look so easy...
Too bad it took me 47 years.
It was fun to see the tea bowls in the background 😊 and guess what, they arrived today! They are just gorgeous 🥰 And again thank you for a great video!!
You are welcome and that was quick. Thanks.
Those landscape plates are magnificent! Thank you for sharing 😊
Thank you too
Fabulous! I enjoyed the chat as well as the wonderful pottery information😃
I gasped with pleasure when I saw your finished plates! I must try that pouring of all the different lines of glaze technique.
Thanks, wait till you see the Icelandic landscapes coming Sunday.
Those make me tear up, they are just so beautiful! You teach so well and are so creative!
Here is a link to my handle video, hope it helps.

Excellent video! Thank you for sharing. Very well explained methods. You make it look so easy!
Thanks
I’m a new potter and I have definitely been enjoying your videos… this is definitely my favorite TH-cam channel.
Thanks and have fun potting.
Thank you Vaughan, I always learn so much from your tutorial videos. So generous of you to share your tips & process! 😁
Thanks
I cut them off after a few hours.
Quick to throw and laborious to glaze but wow the result is so worth your efforts.
Throwing is the easy part, and the most enjoyable. Thanks
I love the design of your plates!!
Thank you
Beautiful results! Interestingly I have a well-loved tankard from a Dorset potter with a similar abstract landscape - reminds me of that a little

It was my oatmeal, I am looking forward to experimenting again when I can open up my glaze shed. Take care.
Beautiful, 💕
Thanks
Do you wire them off bat at same time you flatten rim after a couple hours?
Yes, using my harp wire.
Love al your practical advice! Btw what kind of exercise do you do with the bands?
There are several, all on the net,, just type in shoulder pain exercises.
So very cool thx u
Thanks
Great and inspirational video! How do you sign the back of the plates and at what point in the process?
Signing can be anytime after trimming before the bisque firing. You can also sign after you glaze and wipe off the bottom.
Could you please show what is holding the stick in place?
It is just a piece of clay holding the stick.

Hi Natalie, I should do a video where I do our history and marketing. I did start modestly in a 10x7foot cellar.

Thanks for asking, I glaze the back edge with my opaque oatmeal glaze which hides the other glazes dripping over the rim.
Thanks very much for your reply@@Vsmithpots
I cover the holes on masonite bats w masking tape so no clay catches if drying on the bat .

Most is from Pottery Supply House in Toronto.
Another great video Vaughan. Do yo glaze the backs of the plates? Thanks for sharing
No I burnish them with the pebble.
Fantastic!! Another super informative video. I watched it twice because you really are a wonderful instructor. Do you glaze the back of the plate or back of the rim of the plate? Thank you again.
Yes, I pour glaze around the outside rim or place it on a banding wheel and brush it on. Thanks for watching.
Vaughn, you do not mention what the thickness of the plates should be. Could you help me with that. Thanks
I have never measured. I make them as thin as I can without the rim collapsing. My guess is the flat part of the plate is 5ml, when I cut through with my guitar strung harp I can see the wire cutting through.
Hi Vaughan do you dry your plates on sheet rock? How do keep from warping? Thanks again.
Just dry on a bat, slower the better in a damp cupboard and cut through twice.
Nice to see an experienced potter NOT cone up and down 50 times.
New clay does not need it. It is useful to do it if you feel inconsistency in the clay.
Do you cut your plates from the bats, or do you let them pop off when leather hard?
I cut them off later the same day and again the next day. I use a guitar wire stretched across a U shaped harp.
I’m sorry but did you say you let them dry off the bat or do you wire off? I’m a bit frustrated with plates
did I miss how you cut plates off-when? after you flatten the rims?
Yes after the rim is flattened. Then again the next day.
Прелестно!!!
Благодаря ти
What do you make your bats out of?
1/2inch plywood, covered in Spar urethane, 3 coats.
My husband looked all summer for his leather shammy.
I think mine is in the recycled clay bucket.

What's crawling? In porcelain everything is always painted with a brush.😂
Crawling is a glaze fit problem. It can also be caused by dirt or grease on the pot when you glaze it, also glaze applied too thick or has too much clay in the glaze formulae.
