With the trimming I dug too deep ! partly because I was in a hurry & partly because the clay was rather unevenly dried as I had 'sundried' the plate .Always better in the shade when drying. SL

Splendid and we remember that days of the 15 minute limit, thanks

Thank you Simon for all your help with plate making, I learned a lot.

[@pauldow1648]

i like these step demos. the way you lay it out and explain repetitively is quite helpful

[@post2dennis]

Simon!
Thanks for all of the videos! I really like this one. It is great to see all of the steps.
If we don't make mistakes we don't improve. Keep practicing and please keep the great videos coming.
Side note...You are on my short list of favorite potters. I like people who are human and don't think they know it all. Thank you again!

Hi Simon,
Thanks for the refresher, it does help to see the proper progression all laid out for us. It stops us from unintentionally making a shortcut that usually shows up in the final product!!
Warm Regards from Debbie in Florida

[@tooknap]

as with your cylinder demo, the step--by-step approach is excellent! just the best for repetition & learning!
thank you

[@dandani2]

I like the "realness" of your videos and that its not just me with very little experience that has accidents like that :-) gives me hope, thanks

[@marihani]

Excellent timing, Simon. I was just hoping to make a few plates! Thanks!

[@jenniferwade727]

Thank you for showing the entire process including trimming. I watched a half a dozen other videos on throwing plates and none of them included that final step. I'm a beginner; I need to see it.

[@SpiggyBee113]

Great video. Thank you for showing the forms of the clay through the process.

[@tklong111]

Thanks for the great videos that you put out. I always enjoy them.

[@TheJojoaruba52]

Great video as usual. Nice to see the different stages of the forms. I had not made plates using that series of forms and I think it will help me a lot. As always, thank you!

[@pensandcalls]

Excellent tutorial Simon. We are all human, I see! Great job!

[@marihani]

I started using a mirror after Simon suggested it, and it gives me such a good view of the overall pot, and also what is going on underneath.

[@biancabernstein5527]

Thank you Simon! you are so helpful and your instruction is always great :)

[@GabrielaCalderon.71]

Genio! Gracias por tanto 😘

Hello Simon ,
Your foot cut looks like a nice 1850's Cantonese plate cut .. Great .I love how wet the Koreans do theirs . The angle at witch one makes the "wing " of the outer rim is always tricky.. I worry about the rim drying in such a way that the rim moves upward. I make my rim angle downward a bit to hold in place while drying .. . All the best , guy

[@credenza1]

Thanks, Simon. Inspiring as always.

[@g-r-a-e-m-e-]

So helpful! I am going to try making my first plate.

[@flaviac.3085]

Simon Acabo de ver este video y es IMPERDIBLE!!!!!!! GRACIASSS MAESTRO!!!!

[@Lolagirl1218]

Great Videos...glad to see you have things go wrong too!

[@john.home1]

Try holding the wire taught and pressing on it with your thumbs against the bat as you pull through. Try leaving a little more clay at the base of the lip for support, trim it off later.

[@arirami8166]

great video, good steps...thank you

[@Usasangkhalok]

Thanks so much.l can learn a lot.

[@potterylady1]

How much clay did you use?

[@Sorka42]

Another great video Simon! Thank you.
One question. Could water with a high iron content effect the way a glaze comes out?

[@DASRAY]

Great angle Simon, to bad you don't have a larger mirror sitting in the splash pan, we could really see under your hands from the front I beleive.
Oooh, I need to get downstairs and and make some of those strap tools!
Do like the series shots, Thank You so much!

[@nickacoutin2505]

Been there HaHaaa good job and that was fast.

[@turuanu]

Well, if you DID want to redo the video, could you please put the camera at, say, 11 hours, so we can see what the right hand was covering?
Alternatively you could become left-handed :)

[@graceepstein3113]

wish camera was on the other side
