Well, Tuesday night one of my students requested another plate throwing demo.
Who am I to disagree?… so I threw them a 7-pound platter demo for them.
And what’s a good platter without some fun stamping?! So here we go…
We always start with a plain platter and a smooth flange waiting for texture!
Then I root through my tool boxes full of stamps to find the one I want to use.
Some simple repetitive stamping with the same stamp creates a nice border.
And if one row of stamps is good, would more stamps be even better?!
And then, to accentuate the pointed design, I used a smaller stamp to make a tiny
indentation at the bottom of each point.
All the way around to make a nice repetitive pattern. A little fluting around the edge
and the platter is done for now. Now it needs to stiffen up a bit and dry enough to be
considered leatherhard – ready to trim! And there’s another platter done!
