  • Wow! This is an amazing techniqe... do you cut the platter off the batt or let it dry on the batt? Thank you for sharing, I can't wait to try this! Yours in Art, Kerrie

  • @KerrieWarren1 humble thanks ! yes, i always cut the piece off the bat. i would suggest a thicker than normal wire and i usually let it dry to leather hard condition on the bat, then i flip it, but putting a bat on the rim and holding the two to flip so i don't distort the platter. this can be challenging w/ the platter weighing more than 30lbs. LOL ! many thanks ! MAHALO ! cory

  • mr sengeseth. many thanks for your comment. one key point when u punch is punching in the same place as the clay goes around. after several times practicing you should be able to do any amount of clay ! CHEERS ! thanks for watching ! c

  • Thanks Yakinomo, i have also found if I cover the clay after the platter is made it will slow down the drying process so it will equalize.

    Thanks again for your response.

  • @einey57 thanks i find if i cover the lip, which tends to dry faster and have a hole in the center of the plastic, this allows 'equalized' drying . allowing the center to dry first.

  • How much clay did you use?

  • @seigel @seigel i think about 12-15lbs. thanks 4 stopping thru

  • Thank you so much for this additional information! I will try this over the next week and see how I go. It is wonderful to watch your video, your throwing skills are so good... it really is very inspiring! I'll continue to tune in and keep learning here in Crossover...

  • That's fantastic. I am happy to see this video, I had a project in mind, but knew centering as much clay as I would need to do the project would be hard using the coning technique. I think I will go practice this and see if I can get this punching technique myself. Thanks again.

  • I was waiting for the Japanese businessmen to come in and say, "Wii would like to play."
