You are the only person I’ve seen on YouTube that makes plates/platters like I was taught. Your plates are built like a plate you buy at the store. The cantilever below the rolled edge is so much stronger than a disk of clay thinned and flattened with a low edge. Your platter won’t break easily because it’s supported by the clay beneath it. Anyway that’s the way my teacher explained it to me. His name was Adam Scoggin. He was trained by Margaurite Wildenhain at Pond Farm in California. There are a couple You Tube videos about her life. She was trained at the Bauhaus in Germany pre-WWll. She was Jewish and escaped the Nazis and came to California. Not sure why I wanted to say all that except to honor Adam. He helped me learn throwing even with a physical disability. He was so patient with me.

Inspired- how you polish the bottom of the piece with a beach pebble! I'm going down to Waihe'e stream on Maui and gathering my polish rock right now!
