We're thrilled to welcome Kat Pino for a half-day masterclass happening Saturday 18th July from 11-14:30, dedicated entirely to one of the most rewarding and notoriously challenging shapes in ceramics: the plate.
Flatware demands a different kind of throwing. Spreading a large mass of clay across the wheel requires specific technique, precise body mechanics, and a thorough understanding of how clay behaves under centrifugal force. In this session, Kat demystifies the process and gives you the knowledge and hands-on practice to throw plates with confidence.
What You'll Learn
Through demonstration, discussion, and time at the wheel, the masterclass will cover:
- Throwing technique: how to flatten clay efficiently, harness the wheel's centrifugal force, and maintain control throughout.
- What makes a good plate: design principles, proportion, and what working chefs and restaurants actually look for.
- Common pitfalls: understanding the infamous S-crack, why it happens, and how to prevent it.
- Compression & drying: why these are critical to a successful plate, and how to get them right.
- Trimming: a full trimming demonstration to complete the form
- Advanced tips: Kat's own techniques for achieving clean, contemporary-style plate.
This masterclass is designed for Level 2 students who are comfortable centring 2kg of clay on the wheel and ready to push their practice further. This masterclass also includes a 2/5hr glaze class on the 15th August at 5pm where you will glaze the pieces you made during the masterclass.
