Janet Mansfield threw platters that she lfted straight off the wheel. =

She said this works fine if you remember to set the down the side first =
that was lifted last. I tried it with smaller plates, and I inverted =
them when they were leather, with slight pressure on them, to get the =

How ironic...I was searching yesterday for a site that has George McCauley's
work posted. (I saw his work in a '97 CM). Does anyone know of any?
