DIY Floral Textured Platter – A Simple Spring Project with Big Impact

Looking for a cheerful spring project that’s beginner-friendly and beautiful? This textured floral platter checks all the boxes. Using just a few essential tools, you can create a dish that highlights texture and glaze in all the best ways. We love this technique with soft celadons and bright white porcelain—it’s the perfect combo for spring or summer tables.

Roll out your slab using Tuckers Bright White Porcelain and the Bailey Mini Might II Slab Roller.
Place your floral texture mat face-down on the clay.
Use a mini roller over the back of the texture mat to impress the pattern evenly.
Remove the mat and admire that crisp floral texture!
Drape the textured slab over a 6"x12" GR Pottery Form (rounded rectangle).
Allow the slab to firm up, then flip and remove the mold carefully.
Dry to bone dry, then bisque fire to Cone 04 in your Bailey Electric Kiln.
Apply 3 coats of AMACO Marigold Celadon glaze using a Xiem Shortcut brush.
Final glaze fire to Cone 5 and enjoy your sunny new platter!
