I have tried to make wheel thrown soup plates with wide flat rims (1 to
2 inches). Right after I throw them, the rims are just where I want
them. The next morning the rims start reaching for the sky! I have tried
various techniques to slow the rise of the rims. This includes waxing
the rims, placing a sheet of waxed paper over the freshly thrown piece.
All of these methods seem to involve a lot of extra handling, and the
rims still seem to need an "adjustment" while they are leather hard.
Other than using a mold, what are some of the successful ways to make
wide and flat rims on wheel thrown soup plates and platters.

Hi Chris
Try putting some weight on the rim - i.e. a bat or two

Amiram

Hi Amiram, my wide, rimmed shallow soups were thrown from body 112,
Standard's I think and I had no trouble. My bats were plaster, and the soups
were dried very slowly, in plastic bag-tents, made from dry cleaning bags,
vented a bit more each day. Its very important to make certain the rims dry
no faster than the body, and are no thinner when thrown. Hopes this helps,
Lori Pierce

Can these flat-rimmed bowls be dried upside down?
