Platter formed with extruded supports |
|
Have you marked your calendar for our upcoming free extruder demonstration with Diana Pancioli? Let Diana teach you yet another use for the versatile extruder. You can come in person or participate via Zoom.
Using the extruder to make a platter
Free one-hour demonstration with Diana Pancioli
Saturday, September 25, at 1:00 pm
Now also available via Zoom
Hand builders: extruder dies can help you make platters with ease—and in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. The die produces shaped supports that you use, while unfired, to design the platter shape you prefer. You then form your platter on top of the supports. (You can also bisque fire your extruded supports to produce multiple similar platters.)
No registration is required for this demonstration. Just drop by the studio at demo time. To connect using Zoom, click this link. (Be sure to save this email.) If you haven't used Zoom before, here's a how-to for you.

...gone? We hope not. On October 1, we will remove all bisque ware and glaze ware that has been accumulating on the shelves since August.
-
Please pick up your glazed pieces and take them home to enjoy.
-
Please glaze your bisque ware now or take it home for glazing in the future.
Regrettably, any unclaimed bisque ware and glazed pieces remaining after that date must be discarded to make room for new work. (And you know we hate doing that!)

Tim See on teapots
If you found potter Tim See's platter-making video invaluable, then you will love his video on making an "American-style" teapot. See says he's seen so many horrible videos on making teapots that he felt obligated to make another one. In it, he reveals many secret teapot-making techniques that you will never see elsewhere. You've been warned.
