Want to learn a really easy and fast way to throw dinner plates on the potter's wheel?
In this video I will show you how I make my dinner plates on the pottery wheel, which clay I use and how much.
And I will show you a couple of really nice tools to speed up the process and secure a consistent design with very little risk of cracking.
I will be using a PCV tube to expand the plate, a small special rub I made to shape the rim and a custom made foam chuck to trim the plates. I will show you how to make it all.
