In this video I show you how I make large platters. I show you how to center large amounts of clay, (unlimited amounts of clay) with the least effort and then create an open plate form. I made many of these, up to half a meter!, for some amazing catering companies, cafes and delicatessens. I even show you how to make your own cutting wires to size. Anyway, as usual there's something delish at the end .... so enjoy 😋... NOOOO we didn't really eat them all!!!
The YELLOW RIB featured in nearly every video has been with me for years and I use it for shaping, refining & compressing. I would never want to be without. It's hard to loose... and it just carries on. Along with my wheel - this is with me for the long haul! I would strongly recommend it here: https://amzn.to/4amaYIX (Yellow out of stock. Green one here)
