1 – Hand formed plate – FAILURE. I tried to slump form a plate over a dollar store plastic plate. It turned out with an uneven thickness and a wobbly edge. The optimal way to make this platter would be on a potter’s wheel but I don’t have good access to one. May have to make a plaster slump form instead of a plastic plate
Could you use the plastic plate to make a form in Sculpty and cast the plate in that?
4 – Integrated Hibachi - Success. Holds a can of Sterno, the platter doesn't get too hot. I used a stainless steel shower strainer for the grill, when I do another Pupu Platter, I would like to try lost foam casting for a custom brass grill or a steel one cut with a CNC Plasma Cutter.
How about casting a grill in ceramic? Then you could continue the pattern of the plate onto the glaze of the grill.
