I am trying to make a slab-built platter and am having trouble making the
outside edge look right. Any suggestions on how to finish the platter so
that the rim is smooth, even and not too thick would be appreciated. Also,
how do you get a nice underglaze line on the edge of a rectangular plate?
Any help would be very much appreciated (including texts and/or videos).
TIA

Judy,
I had a teacher here in Seattle that would make a nice slab
built lasagne pan. He would make a rim around the entire
rectangle out of an extruded piece that resembled a hand
pulled cup handle. The rim not only "finished"
the edges nicely, but also worked as the handles.
I suppose some might call this "cheating" but,
it looks great and was quite easy. It may work for you
on your platter.
Good Luck!
