Was that another "Oh Bugger" moment? It happens to all of us - a lot! Pick yourself up and get back on the horse. One good thing is you will get plenty of practice refining your work.

Platters can be turned into great landscape trays (handbuilt). It's a good technique to learn. I'm giving a workshop at our next meeting where participants will be making their own landscape trays (platters with holes) with the cracked earth finish.

ps: if the platters are thrown on the wheel, they can be used as suiban.
