It's been a while since I've searched for an updated side plate shape. For a while I've been throwing and trimming the simplest designs, flat forms with an undercut base to make them appear as if they're floating, yet with all the recent experimentation I've been doing with stepped bases and the like, I thought a new round of tests were in order, and this video goes over the start of that process. Throwing a batch of side plates with 900 grams, (2 lb) of high iron stoneware clay. I'll be trimming these next week!
Thanks for watching!
