Second Plate Project

For this project, I really wanted to try and correct the errors I made with my first attempt at making a plate. For this new plate, I decided to use a roller and stamp the entire slab with the same print. I then used a container to place the slab circle upside down, and add a bottom rim to the center. The clay dried out quite a bit during the week we were gone for Thanksgiving break, but I used some water to smooth out the rough edges of the plate. After firing this as greenware, I discovered that I should've made the bottom rim much thinner, due to the fact that it was missing from the plate, and my plate was cracked into 2 pieces. Although it did not make it out okay from the kiln, I would still enjoy possibly glazing it.
