I followed your instruction and ended up with a great platter, thanks for the video...one problem i had was that in my excitement to build a platter, I forgot to mind how big my platter is vs the size of my kiln, hahahahaha, so I had to have it fired elsewhere. But I enjoy my platter and thank you for your video.

up the good work. love your work.  sabella2u@yahoo

love how they completely ignore the lady with an accent when she asks a question...

[jmg1957]

peace.

[capabel1]

I've never seen a plate with a 4" high side. I think this is more of a shallow bowl and not a plate.

[tgraypots]

well done. he is a good teacher.

[DirtKickerStudio]

A lot of good information in this clip. The plate turned out beautiful.

speed doesn't necessarily mean quality...moron

[mexmix]

ya man ur a pretty dog shit potter. i could make a plate bigger with half the amount of clay and half the time. and the person with the camera.. just get a tripod next time. but seriously i hope ur not a teacher.

Try to raise yourself by putting someone else down. It doesn't work.

"newb"---haha but AGREED :)

[asianx7]

im sorry but this seems rather easy to me...

is this like intro to pottery or something cause im in high school ceramics and i could throw that easily...this teacher doesn't seem very advanced...

the thing to do with plates is drape plastic around the rim so the outside dries but the plate won't crack...this way u can turn the plate upside and let the bottom dry out...

:P

[Groene07]

Big whoop if it seems easy to you. Others, such as those in this video are learning, and others yet are here watching to learn. Just because "this is easy" doesn't mean it is for everyone.

[tbtb27]

wow, that is a great big plate.I like throwing big plates too, but the problem with stretching the wall out with a rib is that the wall then tends to move in and upward while drying, and hence changes the shape i want.

[norbertchi]

This is one of my favorite shapes to throw, and it is very challenging to get it so beautifully smooth and flat. Good job teacher!

[rhettco52]

I really enjoyed this video - learned alot and am going to attempt a platter today!

[mudpuppy61]

This isn't a tutorial for youtube viewers, this man is explaining how to throw a plate to students in his class. There's going to be background noises. One of the kids just decided to film it. I enjoyed watching it and tuned out the background noises much as I do in my own class.

[potterylady1]

@mudpuppy61 Exactly. Didn't bother me at all.

I dont have a pottery teacher right now and have been wanting to go onto large plates- I think this video is excellent and cant wait to go back to my wheel and try!

Really enjoy your explaintion of the finished personality of the pot. You are such a great teacher it's very sad it was not just you and interviewers, not all the back ground noise, really annoying!!! DebraRay

[Robkat3751]

Dry your large plates by covering with plastic only have a large circular cutout in the center. This allows the thicker center to dry without the edges drying faster and cracking the center.

[disisdkat]

Different strokes - I completely disagree. I found it very unpleasant when the video moved. I would rather it just stay on the piece being worked on without it moving about. The background noise is also a real pain. Why could this have not been made in a quiet environment where you can listen to what is being said. The work however is beautiful and a pleasure to see.

[timseepots]

Seems like you are getting spoiled, did you see the big bowl video?

[disisdkat]

Without question your videos have spoilt me. Why else would I be complaining about them not getting center stage. :)  D

[PommeFrite]

Thank you for watching the video. I'm glad this can be helpful to other potters.

Sorry about the background noise. Since this being a public place for many students, some things could not be controlled. This is also a part of our classes, sorry again about not being professional in videography.

[nancy5750]

Great, interesting and helpful video. It would have been even better if, when you stopped to explain something, the person doing the filming would have pointed the camera at you instead of the plate. Then we could see your face and gestures. She was probably looking at your face and hands at those times -- just needed to make sure the camera was too.

I'm just beginning pottery but when I get to plates, I'll be looking at this video a few more times.
