By far the best step by step instruction on throwing a dinner plate I've watched. Very detailed. Derek's techniques will help me throw better dinner plates.
This is the most complete video on throwing and trimming plates that I have found in 3 yrs of being a self taught potter. Thank you very much! I find that the hydrobats make the centre of the clay hump up off the bat while throwing. Am I using too much or too little water?
Thank you so much. I am so glad it helped. I have the same issue with the hydro bats. if you can dry them a little slower so that the edge does not dry before the center it will help with the lifting of the edges. Try wrapping the edge with plastic and cover with cheese cloth. Make sure that the bat is resting on a wire rack or something that helps get air flow under the bat. Also you can leave the bottom of the plate much thicker so that you can trim the hump out of the middle. I hope that helps. Please let me know if you have any other questions. Have a great day!
You are good in front of a camera and an awesome teacher. I really like this video, thought I know very little about working with clay, watching your videos definitely inspires me to want to. Thank you. Awesome plates.
Hey there, Great video! Your "favorite" green rib. Is that a Mud tools shape 2 rib? If so, what density (soft etc.)? If not, what rib is it? Thanks & peace, JB
Hey there! Thank you so much. Not sure on the Shape. It is the rectangle - ish shape. One right angle side, and one slightly rounded, with a rounded nose. Blue or green is best for me, they are the stiffest. I hope that helps. Please let me know if you have any other questions. Have a great day.
Thanks for a great tutorial! Clear and thorough. I have avoided signing in lieu of a logo stamp on pieces like yours for all the same reasons you mentioned. However I like your solution & will give it a try on next opportunity. Cheers! jw
Hi Tahanan. Thank you so much. These are all shiny glazes. Fired to cone 10 in reduction. I will do my best for a glazing video. If you email me I am happy to share the recipes with you. Thanks!

Hey! Thank you so much. I generally do not.

Trim all by mud tools.
How are you glazing the back of the plates?
No glaze 👌
Where do you get a plaster batt?
You can make them. I will do a demo soon.
