Gary Jackson: Fire When Ready Pottery
A Chicago potter’s somewhat slanted view of clay & play
Categories: classes, process, production

Tonight in my beginning wheel class we tackled basic glazing techniques…
and then continued our throwing demonstrations with plates & platters.
I showed my students how to throw the plate. Then we discussed how plates are pretty
easy to throw… starting with a wide, low, flat cylinder… but tougher to trim & dry properly.

3-pound plate with white slip decoration – squiggled while still spinning!

6-pound platter… pretty plain now, but soon will be stamped which is no surprise!
