SIMON LEACH - making oval a pie dish

[fieldfarmers]

excellent!!! so simple...........

[noosapaula]

Simon, is there a difference between rolling a rim or just

leaving a thick rim. Is the rolled rim stronger?

Simon, The best part of being invololved with pottery are the great people like you that share eveything they know with the rest of us. I love your videos Simon. Thank you so much

I've never seen that before!

[peacelovebrighteyes]

I love it!

[kitlinn]

What a great video! Like it lots will give it a go definately, thanks! : )

Looks like it is a bit warm down your way too?

Am I totally off base, or could I use a knife on the inside to cut instead of that wire-technique you use? I am certain I would miss and have to cut 3-5 times before I got that wire in the right place - but a knife at an angle strikes me as working as well?

[sleachpots]

the wire is better for sure as its fine , but a knife , well ?! what can i say try it if you feel more confident with it. SL

Great demo, Simon. I read about this technique, but couldn't picture how it was done. Now I know.

Thanks.

ANOTHER thing I've never seen. LOL! Thanks Simon.

I've seen a couple of methods for "ovaling" a round dish, but they all involved working when the clay was almost leatherhard. This resulted in frequent cracking along the join. Your way is similar but would reduce that risk, I think. Thank you.

[judyyama]

Thanks Again Simon!

Great Method. I will try it at class.

Keep on inspiring us.

Simon - I love it, very simple and practical. I have never seen it done that way. I am going to try that right now. - Skip

[tripanfal]

Awesome as usual.

[DASRAY]

I like your method very much!

I have made several of these by cutting out a wedge in the inside,with a needle tool or Xacto knife, either on the sides like yours or a small marquee shape out of the center. They are ok but don't seem as sturdy as yours Simon. I am going to try this

wire method it seems very quick a simpler.

Thank you very much!

[parrotpotterstudio]

Very nice, I like it. That would make a nice baking dish done larger as well!

[monkeybss]

Another one I was waiting for!
