In this week's video throwing of dinner plates, which I'll be trimming in next week's video. As well as showing how I make these plates I also go over wedging clay and the condition I want it in for these and how prepare a pad of clay for the 'throwing bats' to be attached onto.

Thanks for watching as always, it's so appreciated and if you would like to see what I'm up to everyday you can follow me along on Instagram: Instagram – www.instagram.com/floriangadsby/
