What’s Inside the Plate Project Log & Planner?

A clean, printable PDF template is designed to sit right on your studio table to track your work from raw clay to the final glaze firing.

  • A simple, built-in formula area to help you calculate your exact wet throwing dimensions based on your clay body’s specific shrinkage rate—ensuring your final plates are the exact size you intended.

  • Dedicated sections to log the specific wheel method you used, clay weight, wet dimensions, and critical trimming details like foot ring width and depth.

  • A foolproof template to record your bisque and glaze cones, glaze combinations, application methods, and a "post-mortem" section to note what worked and what to change next time.

Studio Roka online plates masterclass teaser video

Clay forces us to slow down, to be present, and to listen to our hands. But when a piece warps in the kiln after weeks of patience, it can be deeply discouraging. That is why I filmed this dedicated Masterclass. We spent days capturing the entire process using professional cameras and clear audio. It’s designed to feel as intimate and detailed as a private tutoring session in our Zürich studio.aces.

The Three Methods You Will Learn:

  1. The Classic Hands-Only Method: Deeply tactile and organic. Perfect for single, soulful dinnerware pieces.

  2. The Hands & Rolling Pin Combination: The ultimate studio trick for maintaining a perfectly flat, ridge-free floor across the entire wheel head.

  3. The Canvas Slab Transfer: The secret weapon for production potters. Create perfectly matching, consistent, and lightweight dinner sets with delicate rims.

Beyond the wheel, we cover planning your dimensions, accurate shrinkage calculations, studio note-taking, glazing, and firing.

Meet Your Instructor - Mojca from Studio Roka

Hi, I’m Mojca Vidmar.

Seven years ago, I fell completely in love with ceramics. For me, working with clay was never just about making objects—it was a meditative escape, a quiet ritual, and a way to anchor myself back into my body amidst the rush of everyday life.

Five years ago, I took that passion and founded Studio Roka here in Zürich. Since then, it has grown into a vibrant, creative community and a second home for hundreds of pottery enthusiasts. Having spent thousands of hours teaching both beginners and advanced students at the wheel, I know exactly where the friction points lie.

Plates are notoriously one of the most frustrating forms for intermediate potters. They love to crack, warp, or lift. But there are no shortcuts in pottery—only a deeper understanding of the material. In this upcoming class, I am taking everything I’ve learned from running my own production and studio to help you trust your intuition, master the physics of clay, and create pieces you are proud to serve on.
