>Is the whole bottom left unglazed...or just the foot ring...or what?
Dawn - For me, it depends on how deep the footring is---if I think it's
shallow enough that the glaze on the bottom has a chance of touching the
kiln shelf, then I wax the whole bottom. Otherwise, I just leave the
footring unglazed, a look that I like better.

What do you do to the bottom of a dinner plate or large bowl for functional
use? Is the whole bottom left unglazed...or just the foot ring...or what?
Thanks,

Dear Dawn;
I cut the plate from the batt with a twisted wire, and once it is
ready to 'trim', I roll the edge into a nice footring with a 'vulcanizing
roller'. After the bisque, I wax the ring, and glaze the whole piece,
bottom and all. On large plates I place a round price sticker n the middle
before glazing to resist the glaze, giving me a place to 'wad' to prevent
the plate from kissing the shelf. Works a charm.
