Holiday Lace Plates

Holiday Lace Plates

This is a great way to make hand-built plates from slabs. You can use any size/pattern rim template you like. They are also great for testing out texture, glazes and surface decoration ides. This is my go to shape for Mandala plates (which we will be making next week).
This class is appropriate for all ages and skill levels
