[@barbarayellenik5142]

Beautiful! Thank you. Your balance between design and function is exactly what I’m working towards.

[@deMibPottery]

Thanks :-)

[@TheJulieatkins]

Thank you so much for your video, so very clear you are a good teacher, Julie x

[@deMibPottery]

Thank you very much ❤️🙏

[@mickelroberts4842]

You are so generous. Thanks for sharing your gifts! ❤

[@24lunalovegood]

I haven’t watched your videos in a while. Your presentation is better than I remember and I appreciate the amount of information you present and is still concise. I’m going to try your strategies for plates soon! Thank you!

[@deMibPottery]

Thanks a lot :-)

[@Creativetruths]

The plates are gorgeous! I’d be so proud if i had made that! This is making me dream big time!

[@deMibPottery]

Thanks. Good to hear :-)

[@Maker_Bakery]

Love this. Thanks for sharing your methods! That foam batt chuck thing is GENIUS

[@deMibPottery]

Thanks so much!

[@Mangobattie]

Finally! Finally, I've found a channel of someone actually talking through the process, I clicked on a lot of pottery channels where they're just throwing & things, but not saying or explaining anything through the whole video, just quit. I clicked on those channels didn't hear them say anything & clicked right off.

[@deMibPottery]

Thanks 🙏

[@triciac1019]

That is so true. Mikkel always explains.

[@ingegerdandersson6963]

Have you ever probleme with the bottom becoming convex (making it rock)? I learned always remove from th middle of the bottom leasing a fot ring to stand on.

[@gaetanproductions]

Great video, thanks for all your tips, all very good ! I specially like the guide with the point for cutting the outer limit of the plate.

[@deMibPottery]

Thanks. Good to hear ❤️

[@FavinolaBas]

Your video came right on time for me. Thank you for your clear explanations. Will start making plates more confident now 😃

[@deMibPottery]

Glad it was helpful!

[@stephanieeligh8156]

This is a fantastic video & your sense of humour is terrific. Thanks for the information and laughs.

[@deMibPottery]

Thanks 😁🙏

[@BrokenArrowPottery]

Thanks for sharing your method and tools you use in plate making! Your glazes combined with that particular clay are beautifully subtle and well done! I learned a few things that I will try next time I'm making plates! Again, thank you! Cheers! jw

[@deMibPottery]

Thanks so much 😊

[@lyndafjellman3315]

Great video! I stopped wiring off anything on which I wanted a flat surface on the bottom several years ago. I love how easy it is to get a smooth surface that way. You do need a lot of bats if you are doing more than a few pieces at a time. I use hi-density hardboard and coat them with spar varnish to make them more waterproof. They aren't hard to make and fairly inexpensive. They last for years. (I have to make my own bats or re-drill commercial ones as I have a custom wheel with odd distance bat pins)

[@deMibPottery]

Thanks. Sounds good :-)

[@chrisdonahue]

Thanks for guide! I was committed to just do slip casting for placing my artwork on ceramics but this looks doable 😅 I’ll give wheel throwing one last try

[@deMibPottery]

Sounds good

[@brandoncarpenter6142]

I agree! You do a great job of teaching the step by step process. It’s good for those of us who are just starting out. Thank you!

[@deMibPottery]

Glad it was helpful!

[@iwanttogotothebeach4233]

[@joelcormier273]

What kind of clay do we use to make plates n cups!?

[@makingwithm]

That was a great video, thank you for putting it together! You're the David Attenborough of pottery.

[@deMibPottery]

Thanks hehe ❤️🙏

[@patriceleduc3762]

Thank you for showing us. What type of wood do use for your bats?

[@deMibPottery]

I use both MDF and wood

[@drjones2419]

Thank you for a very inspiring tuutorial. Please would you give me the measuremennt of the rib that you made to form the flange?

[@deMibPottery]

Thanks. It is just a small triangle piece of wood. I did not measure it :-)

[@swismylife42]

Thank you for sharing your techniques and tools. Very inspirational.

[@deMibPottery]

Thanks for watching!

[@krellerish]

meget inspirerende... tusind tak... der er mange spørgsmål, så vi kigger videre.

[@deMibPottery]

Tak :-)

[@judywelte8595]

Maybe I missed this but how much clay do you use for your plates? Your video is awesome very informative!

[@deMibPottery]

Thanks. I tried different amounts but have ended up with 1100 grams

[@Adnancorner]

Have you used plaster molds ? to make plates ? I learned so much from your channel sir, thank you very much. Real wealth of knowledge in making kilns :)

[@deMibPottery]

Thanks. No I only wheel throw

[@susanringrose851]

Brilliant video easy to follow thank you 😊

[@deMibPottery]

Glad it was helpful!

[@jimjimgl3]

That "old stoneware" glaze is very nice...! I've changed pottery studios (I throw at my home but fire and glaze at a very big local pottery studio) and I went from Cone 6/7 electric to Cone 10 gas and of course I am learning all the new glazing.

[@deMibPottery]

Creat :-)

[@justinengbrecht1837]

Really enjoyed this video, thank you!

[@deMibPottery]

[@deMibPottery]

Thank you 🙏❤️

[@marialavett]

❤❤This is truly fantastic!!! I'm finishing your video and heading to the hardware store to buy a few things I need. So inspiring 👏🙏

[@deMibPottery]

You are so welcome!

[@linda.s.gislad]

Hi Mikkel, Linda here from Iceland. Happy new year. I ansolutely love this video, it is so informative and detailed. Your plates look amazing. I have not been making a lots of plates so far because of the wiring off problem and because of the size of my kiln, which is more like a test kiln. The kiln furniture you have is amazing and saves a lot of space in the kiln.

[@deMibPottery]

Thanks. Glad I could help. By the way - Love Iceland. Been there so many times :-)

[@ekakaz2296]

Thanks from Tbilisi, Georgia! Very useful! I will try!

[@deMibPottery]

Thank you :-)

[@ellane-d9w]

I love these plates and colours ❤Well done

[@deMibPottery]

[@CarolLyman-jm8uq]

Please tell glaze colors. Awesome video! Thank you

[@deMibPottery]

Thank you yr teaching lm watching from Capetown

[@deMibPottery]

Good to meet :-)

[@BennyBang-s3y]

Very cool plates. Never thought to use tools to roll out the plates. Thanks for the tip! Who makes the plate shelves and can they be fired to cone 6-7?

[@deMibPottery]

Thanks :-)
I got mine from BSZ in Germany and yes, I think they can go to cone 10

[@tedijevtic6756]

I started learning pottery in december and I am still pretty new to everything so this video was very informative for me! Hopefully one day I will learn to make beautiful plates like this. Thank you, cheers from Serbia!

[@deMibPottery]

nice plates!

[@deMibPottery]

Thank you 😋

[@tamahome039]

Hi Mikkel, im very new to pottery. And looking forward to my pottery class soon. But i wonder with the clay you used for the plate, its called black clay? But im trying to find it here in Auckland New Zealand, but most of them are looking so black not like the one you use which is more like gray? So im confused. Thanks for the help. Andrea. ❤ the video.

[@deMibPottery]

Thanks :-) What clay you can find locally is always different. You have to test the clays you can get to see if they act like you want

[@ellane-d9w]

Very innovative

[@deMibPottery]

👍

[@budbolsnd3479]

Do you weigh the clay before you throw it?
How do you determine the finished thickness so they are all similar?

[@deMibPottery]

Yes, I weigh the clay and throwing them at same size secure dame thickness

[@solr4cc]

This 371 clay you have fired turned brownish not black, isn't it? Very nice tutorial. Foam trick to trim nice one!

[@deMibPottery]

No, it actually turn almost black - very dark :-)

[@mugnificentpottery]

Thanks so much for sharing. Can you tell me what your bats are made from? TIA

[@deMibPottery]

MDF and wood. I have a video with more details about the bats I use here: ruclips.net/video/Qpq6jF0206Q/видео.html

[@tolgadn]

Hello Dear Mikkel such an amazing video, i subbed your channel

[@deMibPottery]

Thanks. Glad you enjoy it :-)

[@metteskovgaardstorm7362]

Hi - very inspirational ---- can you please name the glazes that you are using - where to find the recipies if possible :-) ?
Also - Am I correct when you said that you brisque them stacked --- I have heard others say that they need to be bisqued standing up (sideways)?

[@deMibPottery]

Thanks :-)
The glazes I use have actually been quite a journey. The green and the gray-ish ones are based on a Black Matt glaze from John Britts mid-fire glaze book, but I removed all the original colorants and added my own. Replicating that exactly is probably not possible. The okker one is a modified yellow glaze. And again, the modifications and combination with this exact black clay I use probably makes it very difficult to replicate for others.

[@____Ann____]

Standing is safer. That way the plate only has to carry its own weight. The more vertical, the safer (unless you have a fragile rim). If you stack them 6-7 high, there is a lot of weight on the lowest plates.

[@deMibPottery]

It works much better for me to stack. Fored a lot. Never har any cracks or warping

[@mickelroberts4842]

Hi Mikkel. First how do you pronounce your first name?
Alao, did you say plastic bats won't work on this method because they don't release?
Thanks so much for your sharing 😊

[@deMibPottery]

Like nickel with an M :-)
Yes, plastic batts do not suck out the moust in the clay

[@mickelroberts4842]

Super! Thank you for sharing your gift. I am called Mickel too. My nickname. Made some plates today. Hopefully they pop off the bats.

[@gabip.8189]

Guten Tag, vielen Dank für die guten Tips. Ich schneide meine gedrehten Produkte auch nie ab, sondern drehe sie auf Gipsscheiben oder unglasierten Kacheln (die saugen besser als Holz), von denen sie sich je nach Raumklima in ein bis zwei Tagen ohne vorheriges Abschneiden abheben lassen und einen wunderschön glatten Boden haben. Meist drehe ich sie vorher nach ein paar Stunden noch auf den Kopf, damit sie regelmäßiger antrocknen. Das kann man ohne Probleme tun, da sie noch auf den Unterlagen gut festkleben.

[@deMibPottery]

The method and materials I use works really well for me :-)

[@malinwaldestal1813]

Beautiful! What kind of clay is it ?

[@deMibPottery]

Thanks :-)
Its 371 from G&S in Germany - as also mentioned in the video

[@dorrisjane22]

How do you get them off the bat and how do you dry them to keep them from warping?

[@deMibPottery]

I dry quicly - no cover and they release sutomatically in 1-2 days. Never warp for me

[@shayedanielle6429]

Will the plates come off like that if you are using plastic bats? The plastic will not absorb any water, so perhaps the plate sticks to the bat and in that case and it may be better to wire off?

[@deMibPottery]

Yes, plastic bats wont

[@birgittekaae8395]

Hej Mikkel
Tak for dine geniale videoer. Som ret ny i keramikkensverden er det både inspirerede og lærerrigt at følge dine videoer. Jeg har dog et spørgsmål. Jeg kan se, at dine tallerkner ikke bliver skåret af, og det virker også ret godt for mig. Jeg kunne godt tænke mig at vide om det samme gælder for dine krus, skåle vaser........ bliver de også siddende til de selv slipper battet?

[@deMibPottery]

Tak. Det afhænger lidt af om de skal trimmes i bunden. Hvis de skal det skærer jeg dem fri så de ikke bliver for tøre til trimming

[@MercyRumbidzaiMazhata]

What is the name of the machine

[@deMibPottery]

Which maschine?
