Wheel Throwing Series: Two Easy Ways to Throw a Plate on The Potter's Wheel Explained!

- This is part of the new wheel series I am working on!! I am remaking my wheel videos on my new SKUTT wheel!!! Here is a link to my wheel- available from most good pottery suppliers. skutt.com/products-page/potte...
The video is focused on throwing 2 different types of plate forms.
From the beginning to 5:15, I show how to center a 4 lb plate hunk from 2 different 2 lb hunks. This is a handy technique for beginners.
From 5:15- 10:37 I show how to throw a scooped plate
From 10:37- 18:50 I show a GREAT technique for super easy successful flat bottomed plates using a large dowel to flatten.
I will be showing the trimming of both of these on a later video which I will link here when done.
Both plates are from 4 lbs of clay. I am using Laguna B mix cone 6.
My new series will offer new videos with tips and tricks to successfully wheel throw pieces- from beginner to intermediate to advanced. I will be offering a good deal of EXPLANATION within the videos to help people understand the mechanics of why things work the way they do! I often tell my students they learn more from their mistakes than from their successes in throwing. In these videos in my series, I will try to distill my best tips I have learned from my successes and failures, and my students' struggles as well. Two things have led me to becoming the potter I am today. Countless hours of making pots, (and explaining how to make pots), and understanding and learning from my failures when pots didn’t work out! These are the things I want to share with you- to help YOU become a better potter!

I am a public high school ceramics teacher at William Mason High School in Mason, Ohio. (Mason is currently the largest high school in Ohio!) As a potter, I have been working in clay for over 33+ years, and I have been teaching for over 30 years, the past 22 have been specifically teaching high school ceramics. I love what I do! I have my own studio in my home basement, where I work on my personal pottery for my Etsy site; www.etsy.com/shop/KaransPotsA...
I started my RUclips channel a few years ago, to make videos to help my students if they are absent and miss a demo, or if they would like to explore more advanced techniques independently.
Please subscribe to my channel if you would like to receive channel updates, or would like to learn more about clay and studio processes!
I am in a partnership with Skutt - as they sent me the new wheel to use for the videos! I am not receiving any compensation from them beyond the wheel. Check out the gorgeous Skutt wheels to see which one meets your needs! skutt.com/pottery-wheels/

@@KaransPotsAndGlass No Thaannk YOUUU Karan! hee Hee, LOL💖
I just found you and love your videos. I appreciate the help! I wish i could have had a chance to do pottery as a kid. Your kids are lucky to have you!
I am soooo glad you mentioned centering where it meats the bat!! Yessss! Thats what I need to do!! Can’t thank you enough. And doing the two hunks is amazing!!
Thanks for another great video, I haven't tried the second method yet, but it looks like a great idea.
It's fantastic! That's a method I just started showing my students in the past year, and their success rate of their plates has gone way up!!
I loved this video, especially the demonstration of using the dowel -- amazing!
It's amazing and wonderful to expand sideways! I enjoyed the good video. I'll watch it often!
Hi, I teach ceramics at a community college (more than 40 years now). I find your RUclipss are the ones I recommend the most often to my students. Thanks!
Awww!! Thanks so much, Lee!! I appreciate it!!
Would you address how to keep plates from warping when firing? Thanks for a great video!
So much about warping occurs during the building and construction. (I'll have the trimming video up soon!) I try never to bend a plate- always transfer by flipping directly bat to bat. Dry evenly - I achieve this by drying under a heavy towel. Nest them toward the middle of the kiln- never on the top or the bottom. Fire slowly. Cool slowly. Never stilt. Plates can be stacked rim to rim during bisque, and even fired on edge if it is thick and supported enough. Proper thickness is key. Plates that are super thin would be more prone to warping. I hope this helps some- and I will address some of it in the trimming video!
Really interesting i love what you present for us 💕💕💖 but just a question
is there a special formula for the preparation of the slip that is poured into the molds
Thanks love you ❤️💖🤗
yes there is- you may want to check out this article. ceramicartsnetwork.org/daily/article/How-to-Transform-Your-Clay-Body-into-a-Casting-Slip
@@KaransPotsAndGlass really thanks for your help 😘😘😘🌹🌹🌹🌹
Good morning! I’m about to purchase a skutt wheel and cannot decide between the built in splash pan or the removable one. Do you have a preference? Any suggestions?
well, I chose the built in spash pan, quite simply because I don't use a ton of water, and I like just cleaning with a sponge and towel! I love the built in one- and also really had agonized before settling on it- wondering if that would be the right choice for me... but it is!!
Can you show how to hand build a double walled vase?
Good idea! I can do that this winter! I’ll add to my list!
Im a cart before the horse type- i bought 2 kilns- a big one and a smaller one. Any books i could buy to get the basics down before ruining a bunch of clay?
First, make sure you have the manuals- most are available on line... and read those thoroughly! Try Ceramic Arts Daily for their book recommendations in their shop. Anything they recommend would be great.
What size is the plate? Also which potters wheel are you using?
I usually make plates around 11" to be a final measurement a. little over 10". Using my Skutt Wheel!
If you have to cut the "pot" off the bat why use a bat at all just throw off the wheel and there will be less to clean up.
The pot is cut from the bat in order to allow it to shrink and release from the bat. In my classroom, we use bats because my beginner students don’t have the ability to take the pots off of the wheel head without damaging, especially wide forms like the plate in the video. But you do you! I teach 200 students every semester many of who are beginners, and this is an essential step for them.
Again, again, again. Even though you haven’t talked about said method, you still say again, again. Why?
Because I cover it in all the preceeding wheel videos where I introduce the basics of centering. If you need to review centering, just check the earlier videos in the new wheel throwing playlist.
