Using soft clay is good advice. A couple of years ago I had to take a couple of months off because of a case of tendonitis from making a platter with clay that was pretty stiff. I could feel the strain while making the platter and thought "This is not good" but my obstinate mind wouldn't let me stop, so I paid the price.
Yeah exactly using soft clay is better and easier but using other clay with other ingredients like iron and wood and .. give a really beautiful texture that I'm crazy about it
Great video! I’m just beginning to throw larger. Watching when you torch the clay, when you stop adding water is very helpful. Do you carve a foot? Would love to see a trimming video on a rim altered piece like this.
Do you cover the platter with plastic or dry it slowly in a damp box? Do you weight it to prevent cracks as it dries? It is really a lovely platter. Your hint about centering a bit at a time is golden. New subscriber.
Great video, excellently done - Thank you!
Would love to see how you trim a platter this size.
I’ll keep it in mind.

rhank you
How do you trim it?
I assume it gets fired in a wood kiln.
