Okay, so let me start this by saying I don’t eat oysters.
And I had never even heard of “oyster plates.” But when one of my repeat student requested I demo how to make one, I had to consider my options.
So I showed them how to throw this as one piece, with one ball of clay. So it’s kind of a chip & dip bowl, but this time I bent up the edges of the plate so as to give the oyster shells somewhere to “land” as the plate is served. My students seemed to like it as though I succeeded with my Demo-On-Demand.
And sure, it’s a little squishy right now… but I’ll do some touch-ups and detailing when they set-up a bit. Maybe tomorrow evening?! It’s under plastic right now overnight.
