Crafting the Final Impression: Donn’s Finishing Process
Donn shares the final steps in bringing a handmade platter plate to life. With the piece centered on the wheel, Donn walks viewers through the delicate art of trimming & refining the edges to achieve balance, symmetry, and a professional finish. His practiced hands work with precision, removing excess clay and preparing the surface for the final decorative touches.
As the wheel spins, Donn demonstrates how to engrave a subtle pattern into the clay’s surface, explaining how line, rhythm, and pressure come together to enhance both form and function. The result is a beautifully crafted platter that reflects both skill and intentional design.
