Upside Down Platter1

This is an easy way to make a platter with no trimming involved. I used a stretched out spring for the texture but you can try it with a straight wire. The trick is to make it thin enough so that it's not too heavy. It usually takes a few tries before you get it right.
Have fun, comments and questions are welcome. I'll try to respond.

I am a newby. I love the look of this.

If you waited a few minutes til it really set up.... could you lift it off the bat. and swing it twice put it back on a flat surface, and swung it the other way...

Would or could it become a platter?

Great demothanks! Worked perfectly the first time I tried it. Lots easier than throwing right-side up. Just have to give it time to firm up before flipping it; crashed a giant one because I was too impatient! Thanks again.

What a great idea.

Yesterday I made a couple of these plates. The first 2 tries crashed on lift. I made the plate a little thicker and it helped a lot. They are really striking as greenware. Can't wait to glaze and fire. Thanks for the cool new project!
