Video. How I Slip a Plate
Thursday, August 11, 2011 at 6:24PM
Hope this helps some of you out there. This technique could easily be used when glazing also.
Spinning the plate takes some practice. You could practice with a bisque plate and water just to get the feel of the motion and the pouring. Notice I don't move my pouring hand/cup. Just the plate moves and the pour goes from the center of the plate (more or less)

So you slip em after you've turned em. blimey!
Hmmm.... well easy for you! :-)
I dunno, when I watched that, it got me thinking that you would probably make a great production baker :-)
Thanks for the demo, you make it look so easy!
Thanks - that definitely will help.
I love seeing how all potters vary in technique! I too slip my plates but dip them in a vat still attached to the bat and get some juicy finger marks. it also rehydrates the surface nicely for my image transfers! Your way certainly uses less slip. Thanks for sharing!
