one hole is just fine.
insert a good quality picture hanging wire in hole, on the inside
put the wire through a small steel washer, twist. on the outside just make
a nice clean loop on the wire itself.
hang on nail.
one hole, easy.

In making platters in the past I made three holes equally spaced through the foot ring of the platter. This should allow for infinite ways of hanging the platter as one never knows which way might work as top until one is finished firing the platter. I have also made platter hangers with cut pieces of coat hangers--look at the plate hangers that they sell at picture framers to get an idea of how to bend the wire.... wire needs to go round the front of the platter then have two ends that will be in back to tie to--need four equally spaced to hold the platter... tie them together (connect all four) with strong cord --hang platter. You can wrap the coat hanger that will be against the platter with clear plastic tubing.

I have a method that lets you hang the platter regardless of the
orientation of top\bottom etc. When trimming, cut a groove in the foot that
will accommodate a piece of picture wire. Don't glaze that groove. After
firing wrap a wire around the platter and twist the ends to a loop or onto
a washer to hang.
Good luck

Hi clayarters,
I have a large series of "plates" or more like concave shapes that I would like to present on the wall. The lip of these forms is teared and rough so I need some kind of system either with acrilic holders or something I have found called an adhesive disc. My pieces are burnished and so I donīt know if the adhesive sticks and if it is even a good idea. Has anyone any thoughts on the subject.? thanks
Karen

too late for these, but you could add a nub on the back and put a =20
hole in it for a future wire to hang pieces.

Karen,
Would those adjustable plate racks with springs in
them work with yours? They have four "prongs" to hold
your piece and come in a variety of sizes.
In describing their shape, think of the letter "H" and
they usually are made of brass plated steel?
Future work could also have a footed base with holes,
or a recessed area between plate and foot to hold a
wire. here's an attempt at a profile and a wire could
wrap around the arrowed recessed groove and then
twisted to hang.

There was a bit of a discussion about this not all that long ago. See if
you can find something about "Wall Dogs" in the archives.

My teacher's plates were hung with hangers that were made of 3 double
pronged claws with eyes or loops at the other end. Claws are placed
on the lip, points pointing in and with yard tying the loops of the
hooks together. Seem to work pretty well. You could fashion hooks
out of heavy coat hanger.
