How to throw PLATES out of clay!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 авг 2024
- In this video we go throw the steps and tools needed to throw plates on the wheel out of clay. We first make a smaller side plate and then we move to a larger style dinner plate. I hope this video helps you with your plates as they have proven to be a frustrating thing for me to make!
My 2 keys to making plates are....
#1 Compress the middle.
#2 Make sure they dry consistently and slowly.
Happy plate making!!

Ah plates... great explanation, tips and technique! Nowadays I make lazy plates... 1/2 inch slab clay, slap it onto a batt, cut a circle with a needle tool, clean up the rim and turn up an edge... I also make a swirl across the flat... lazy at 64 years old! or should I say enjoying being retired.
Janice do you have a picture of your slab plate somewhere? I make them from slabs too but never use my wheel. Just a 1/4" circle slap with edges formed using a hump mold
I just started doing that. Plates are hard. 1/2 inch slab. I use a large soup pot lid as my stencil. Then put on a bat. Cut the edge and lift s lip
Thank you for a great how to video, please keep them coming. A lot of us have no potters in our area, I have been at it for a while now, and learned most of what I do know about pottery from guys like you on RUclips.
Would love to see you trim the plates. Wonderful video of you throwing them!
@jonthepotter.... Love your personality in these vids. very informative
I really liked the video angle used for the second plate 12 inch. My sense of pressure and technique was much improved by getting up so close. Thanks.
Thank you for all you have taught me, in three months I have really improved since that first pinch pot (WOW). So again Thanks Jon you're the "BOOM".
I love this plates
, Cups, bowls end everything.... 😍
I LOVE your videos!! I just started pottery and you’ve given me some fantastic ideas! Keep em coming!! 💕💜💕
I Loved this video. Great information and camera angles were excellent.!!!
thanks for showing. I did it in art school with major in ceramics, but had forgotten. Now that I have a wheel, I would like to make myself a dinner set and needed some refresher course for how to throw a plate.
Congrats on 2000 subscribers!! :D That's awesome! Look forward to your videos, lots of great tips and ideas :D
You should do a Q&A ... I have so many questions to ask like 1. which pottery wheel do you think is the best or what works for you? 2. where do you get your clay? 3. Was it hard startling off selling your pieces? 4. where do you sell your pieces? 5. Is it really expensive to gather all the materials at first? 6. Which type of Kiln would you recommend? ... I'm wondering because I've always had this dream of creating and selling my pieces and hopefully making it a career. Thank you so much for making these videos!
I have been thinking about trying to do a Q and A!!! Thanks for the Q's I'll do a vid soon with some A's.....:)
Really like the succulent pots. Yes, do another video on glazes!
Glazing! They are coming!
Thanks so much for this!☕️🍩
Your videos are always useful thank you for sharing .
Wow i love it! I'm going to try to make those plates!
You are an inspiration! Thank you
Thanks. Finally no S cracks in the center. Also, I will try cutting them off the bat later when leather hard. I had problems doing it right away.
Amazing job, man!
Thanks Jon!
I just stared.... you are an inspirations ... thank you!
Thanks! Lots of great info
I love making crazy funky plates with a lip around. I think they are fun.
Just starting out. Love your video....missed out on that last mug give away. Hoping someday I will be able to throw as quickly as you! thx
Thanks for sharing ✨
Thank you for this great vidéo very interesting
Thanks Jon!!! I asked about plates. I think it’s a common thing to have a struggle with them! Just threw a plate set and fingers crossed!! I do them on plaster bats. Then cover with news paper and a T-shirt or something. Thanks for the information! Love your glazing! And just your pottery style in general. 👍🏻🤞🏻😍😆 is your green a Caribbean green ?
Also, I'm planing to make some ring dishes. I'm very new to the pottery world but never the less very excited!! What type of clay/firing temp would you recommend for ring dishes? Thank you! 😊 I look forward to more of your video tutorials!
Great video Jon. Have you ever thrown a sphere shape?Like if you were making a pumpkin without a stem. Would love to see your version of a how to on this.
Yes! Another stand up thrower! Have you always thrown standing up? I just made a table for my wheel yesterday. Mainly for space.
I am also wondering why some potters prefer to stand and throw. What do you feel the pros and cons to standing are?
Thanks
Thank u!
Thank you so much for much appreciated toturial, what is the bottom drying cover made of, is it plaster/cast?
Now how do you trim the foot after these plates have dried a bit? Because I can see that at the rim it’s quite thick, so I’d imagine you’d have to trim it up and give it a foot?
Love watching your vids Jon. This is the first time I watched live.🤓
Love you from India
Hey Jon. Greetings from New Zealand. My secret for plates is to make them in the winter...really increases drying time....
So, is there a future video about different rims and possibly how you/he did these?
Can you microwave and use the dishwasher for these types of plates? Are there better types of clay for that or anything specific to use or avoid to make them that way?
Hi Jon, I just found you and watched a mini marathon. Great info thanks. Suggestion... Turn down your background music, please. And change it... Loved the bluesy you played at beginng of the Art Wander segment.
Thanks so much for everything... Except that music. Big hugs from Florida
Gang gang
When do you cut them off the bat? I tried cutting mine after it dried a bit but it was way to hard to keep the wire straight because it was too much surface area. Do you recommend cutting the plate with the wire right away after you finished throwing it ?
Love this, any chance of making one for one piece goblets?
oooooh I'll have to try that out:)
hey love your video do you have classes or do you eave in london ?
No classes yet, just online, thanks!
Thanks for the tutorial. I always have trouble cutting a larger piece, like a plate, from the bat evenly without pulling it and causing it to warp. Any hints on that? Thanks
I've noticed that people always pull the wire toward themselves. I've heard people accidentally cut up through their piece, which I'm guessing has to do with the physiological normalcy of pulling up as your hands get closer to your body. Maybe it's just because I'm a lefty and do things weird, but I push away (from front to back essentially), which allows me to use a downward (toward the bat) pressure the whole way across. I could be wildly crazy (and my friends all suggest I am), but I don't have those problems, so maybe give it a shot.
Thanks for your videos. Hi, I've become a fan of your channel. I'm Mexican, and I can understand you a little. If you read this. You would do me a great, great favor, if you would share with me the few recipes for enamelling that you use. A big hug from Mexico.
How do you keep them from drying too fast? We're moving to the desert so this is a big concern for me. Thx for the vids and can't wait to see what you put on etsy!
You've probably already found the answer to your question but I will say this anyway. You can either use a damp box (easiest) or carefully wrap the pieces in plastic, making sure to tuck it under the bat.
Should you not run the wire under at all until it dries?
Do you flip plates upside down to dry like you do with mugs?
A lot of potters do a swirl in their plates. Isn't that very annoying when using them? Or does the swirl get flatter with glazing ?
if drying slowly, and covering with plastic bags, how long do you wait?
Lovely! Question: what kind of clay? 🤔
I think he said on a previous vid that he uses buff stoneware, but that was mugs, I’m assuming it’s the same for the plates.
Do you need to trim the bottom?
John the Potter why don't you teach how to throw pottery to beginners who are scared of the pottery wheel like me? Lol 🙂🙂☺☺
2:51 Goodbye wire cutter tool x'D
Have you ever thought of doing a milk glaze on something to waterproof it?
Any suggestions on when to cut the plate from the bat? I noticed you didn't do it when you were done throwing it. Also, when trimming the plate, do you have any tips? Often when I trim plates, the rim is almost home dry but the bottom is wet enough to bent when I try and trim a foot. Help please lol
Plates are hard!! Just let them dry really slowly so that they dry evenly, As for cutting them off I like to wait a few hours so the clay has a little time to set up. I would let them dry slowly for a few days, covered with plastic , then flip over and continue to dry slowly until they are ready to trim. You really have to baby plates!
Jonthepotter awesome! Thank you!
What is the water you’re using a slip.
Can these go in the dishwasher?
What type of clay are you using?
What type of clay do you like to use for throwing?
Is glaze is unhealthy to food use ?
For a beginner is a plate easier to throw then a mug or vase?
Cylinder should be the first thing for beginners!
@@Jonthepotter Thank you I'm give it a shot it might not go well. lol
Hi...i just learnt dat glazing ceramic is poisonous...if used fr food purpose...it has lead...so how do v make them food safe???
Glazes used to have lead in them, but that is now illegal and all forms of glazes that are sold in the U.S. do not contain and lead. So the glazing process is perfectly safe!
@@Jonthepotter but am from India....so hv to check d glazes befre trying them is it...
How do you make your pottery useable? Like can you just use it right after it’s done in the kiln, or is there something you put on top of it? Also please answer quickly. (Not trying to be pushy, or rude, but I’m trying to make a gift for someone.)😬
They are usable right away after they come out of the kiln! as long as they are glazed and fired you can use them :)
Thanks 😂
يا لبيه❤️
Sorry. Few more questions I know your going to do a video on trimming plates but do you trim a foot or not? And how do you bisque them? Flat, stacked, on there side? Your the best!
Hey I do trim a little foot on them! I also stack them but I never stack more then 2 for larger plates, I would maybe stack 3 or 4 as the plates get smaller:)
Jonthepotter thanks Dude!!
I just started a pottery class...can I ask you some questions?
How did your class go. Sure always ask questions.
Hello nice vid But you put all of your supplies with links in you description box but your clay which would be helpful for beginners like me. is clay a government secret or what some one asked this before me and no answer so please can you tell us the brand and source of your clay thanks.
The clay I use is Buff Stoneware from Continental Clay
thanks @@Jonthepotter
If I’m making plates and cups do I need to put them in fire.
Yup
Plates intimidate me..lol
How many bats do you have
Around 40ish
-_- this didn't show up in my feed
What is the reason that you do not cut off the plates until leather hard. I do not have room to put plates on a shelf. I am in a communal pottery and the room is very tight.
Well I cut them off early than that but i don't move them til they are a little drier, plates unfortunately take up a lot of room and since they need to dry slow it makes them a bit tough.
Try stacking the batts using kiln furniture to separate... works for me!
janicethepotter Good idea!
I can hand built but throwing is scary to me ☺☺

You forgot to list one very important rule never use B-MIX it's nasty stiff intends to crack on large items now before anybody argues with me do an Internet search I'm not the only one. I have not literally have never had anything, not one single S crack in probably three or four years I just had to switch to B-mix due to a supplier issue, and now every third large piece cracks. Someone needs to start a class-action lawsuit
you talk too much instead of working much more
