How to Throw Plates with a ROLLING PIN

- In this video, you'll learn how to throw a plate on the wheel using a rolling pin. It's a clever technique that will challenge your understanding of wheel throwing. I saw @matthew_fitzsimmons demonstrate this and I had to give it a try. It makes your plates very flat and there is little to no water needed. However, I don't think this technique will ever replace the traditional way of throwing a plate but it's different and fun. One benefit is that you can reuse the clay right away and the plates are already drier from lack of wheel throwing water. Give it a try and let me know how it goes!

My name is Jim Fazio. I'm an art teacher and practicing ceramic artist. I make ceramics and pottery tutorials, clay creations, and give you an inside view of the life of an artist. I'm also hopelessly addicted to colored clay. Check out my channel for more if you're interested!
I use a tube of pvc pipe and add water while flattening. Smooth and fast.
That was really cool. I’ve been kind of afraid to start doing any plates because I’m 64. I guess that’s dumb letting your age hinder what you do but I might try this dough pin method. Thank you so much.
I love that you are so open to new techniques, and give credit to the person you learned from. Awesome. You and yours stay well.
Gotta give credit where credit it due. Thanks Gabi. Great to hear from you!
I love the double views so you can see the sides and bottom. Excellent video!!! Thanks
Thank you, Patricia!
Tried this today! Worked great and didn’t kill myself trying to center. Thank you!
Happy to help I had fun giving it a go myself!
Thank you so much for this, I have arthritis and have not been able to throw plates because of the pressure needed - going to have a go at this tomorrow! 👏👏👏😃
I hope it works better for you. It still require some pressure but maybe less. So happy you saw this. Let me know how it goes!
Thanks for sharing this!
Sure. Happy to help!
This video is awesome! Wished I found you sooner. This will make my life of throwing plates so much easier. It is just a fast forward process. So much time will be saved. Thank you so much.
Thanks! I hope it helps. With the right approach I think this could work long term. Like any process, there are tweaks to be made along the way.
Excellent video thx for sharing ☺️
Thanks Terrylee!
Thanks for sharing, I'd love to try it, might be easier / less stressful on your body. Recently I saw Lois Hook on RUclips try a similar method for a dinner service she is making. This method reminds me of the industrial pottery videos when potters use a jigger to speed up the production of plates. Again many thanks.
It is very much like a jigger. Wish it were as easy too 😂 It IS a wrist saver for sure. I don’t make a lot of plates so I still need more time with this technique but is quick and consistent so far 🤷♂️
Love this idea
It’s a fun way to change things up
Gonna give this a try today!
Let me know how it goes!
Just got back to making the plate...yeah, 👍👌great success! Made 2 going for a set! Thanks for your video tips!
Awesome
Thanks, Jackie.
hell yeah k1 speed
U make me miss the college it was the best class to chat and relax by playing with the clays :( thank u ❤️
I was immediately drawn to the community of clay at college. It certainly is something special.
Wow it's really nice...I too want to try this ..
You should. Let me know how it goes!
I made my first plate like this but with more water. Now I know I can do it with less. thanks!
I think I’d like to try using less for the rim forming part too. Maybe it can be done with no water?
Ta! Saw similar method by Michael Wendt who is quite innovative in his ways. Used much more water, so I look forward to trying this drier....hope it will work with PVC as a roller.
Thanks for sharing....
It should. I do think in hind sight a little more water would help. Although then it would dry slower so maybe there’s a happy medium somewhere in there.
@@CeramicJim I think with the pvc pipe it won't work too well without water, worth testing the limits to find out.
روعة عملية سهلة وبسيطة شكرا لك 💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎👑👑👑👑👑👑
Thank you!
Omg I’m in love with your ceramics 😍😍🥰 I was wondering, how you make sure there is not bubble doing just this process. And not up and down with water to get rid of bubbles? Thank you:)
Thank you! It’s fun but I wouldn’t replace traditional plate throwing with it.
Clever! Did the fired plates show any S-crack issues? Thanks for sharing.
I didn’t have any issues with those two. Could have been lucky though. I haven’t had a chance to make more this way. Thanks! 😁
Hi there. Great channel!!!!! Thanks so much for the inspiration. I want to get into potting but have no idea what potting wheel to purchase. Any suggestions?
If you can. Get the Shimpo VL Whisper. The best, hands down.
I bought a Shimpo Aspire which is a portable (sits on any table top) and I love it. It is heavy enough it doesn’t move on the table or anything. Very nice.
You forgot to say "PLOP" when you put the clay on the wheel, of course since you're the only one there I guess it's okay. Already watched on Instagram, but watched it again here, great job.
Lol. Maybe I’ll start saying that, Tahinde. I appreciate the rewatch 👍🏻 Hopefully this slower format gave you a better understanding of the process and my thoughts.
@Ceramic Jim, Is PVC pipe for rolling pins? And paint stick and fishing line for wire tools?
oops wrong video
No worries I get it. The pipe and the paint sticks are for slabs. Rolling on the paint sticks as tracks helps keep them even. The washers and the fishing line are DIY wire tools.
you can buy tiger tail for a very reasonable price and it will last forever. Got the beading section in any art store, these have a plastic wrapped wire coating and are worth the investment.
Hallo im from Indonesia, Do you have a video on how to make glazing?
Hello! Currently I don’t. But I do know how and I will be making a video soon.
Jim I have an unrelated question. I have been trying to google what metals can be fired at cone 6. I am making stuff to hang, but need to put something in the clay to hang it when it is done going thru 04, and 6 come firing. Any suggestions?
I recommend Kemper High Temp Wire. I’ve fired it to cone 6 and it holds up great.
Thank you Jim
What’s the white trimming tool you put in the center when trimming?
It’s something I recently got from diamond core tools. You can just use a Snapple cap too. It helps you apply downward pressure when trimming. Not as necessary with plates but I was removing a lot of clay so I used it. It helps a lot on taller cups and tumblers. It also has markings for 1/3s 1/4s 1/8s etc if you wanted to marked evenly spaced designs.
Just looked it up again. Trimming spinner. diamondcoretools.com/collections/sticky-gripping-pads/products/trimming-spinner
Ceramic Jim thank you Jim
what is the brand of your wheel?
I have an old Shimpo RK. I think it's an RK. It's from 1980.
For those who can't throw pots...
super cool technique but pretty wastefull.4 pounds for a normal dinner plate is a verry big amount.
I agree in part. There is certainly a learning curve with this method and it’s new to me.
You can reuse the clay right away because it’s not as wet. And I probably could have used less to start with. It’s also good for the wrists which if you have wrist issues I think it’s worth it regardless of the waste.
I’ll let you know when I perfect it 😉
@@CeramicJim thanks for taking time to write back . right , no need for recycling thats a big plus ! ... keep up the great work :)
