Your idea of the template for making the plates consistent is great. Gotta make me some of those. On the last plate I noticed when you were centering that the bottom had a wobble to it and then later when the air bubble became evident and a big bulge appeared on one side I thought it was scrap and you were wasting your time. But you proved me wrong. It takes real skill to correct that much of a problem. I'm impressed.
How do you know when it’s an air bubble or if it’s a chunk of dryer clay? When the pot got off center, I thought maybe it was some dryer clay that didn’t get blended in fully during your coning/centering process. It looks like poking it a bunch helped as it moved around. Was that because it had air trapped? Or did poking it help get water into that piece? Any info would be great! I had that happen with a bowl on Sunday and I just scrapped it and started over. It would be great if it’s possible to recover from that!
Most of the time, you can use your needle tool to poke it, and you'll really see it release, but if you poke it and it's hard, then you know that it might not be clay lol or it's a harder piece that is mixed in. If that's the case, then I would scrap it and restart. This bubble in my video was huge! Which really messed me up for a second but after poking it and making sure to compress the bubble away that helps, I also make sure to really regroup my rim so I'm in control even though the pot was going all wonky.
Thanks so much! I would love a health/safety video,nobody talks about it 🤷♀️☕️🍁☺️
