In this final instalment of our series on making hollow dishes, Anne Mette works to shape the curve on the bottom section of the dish and find the desired symmetry that makes the dish appear to float. A stable foot is formed and an air hole is added to prevent explosions in the kiln. The following day, porcelain slip is applied with added minerals for a thick textured coat before glazing. Anne Mette finally shows us two finished dishes. She talks about how the different glazes, different clays and different firing positions change the look and feel of her signature form.
