What I love about your videos is that you simply state what you do. Using the universal pin tool to define and clarify your shelf, seeing it immediately. helps so much. Thank you Ann.
I've watched this video before. Without a doubt, I'll return... Your throwing, trimming and style overall are always helpful. My lids and I thank you for your help.
Thank you very much for this video. I was having trouble throwing lidded forms and your tutorial has really helped! Turning the lid upside down to check fit whilst it’s still on the bat was a revelation 😍
News paper strips are not needed. The pieces will not stick together unless sopping wet. This is a well done and informative video, but the paper strips are a waste of time.
Ann , I have not ever been introduced to using the needle tool as you have done. What a clever way to even out and define your pieces. Thank you as always for the great tips and improved ways to define and simplify great results.
Thank you for the clear and informative tutorial. It was really helpful to see the process. Sorry if this is a stupid question, but while I really admired the snug fit of the jar and lid in the first example, do we need to leave more room to account for the layers of glaze inside the two rims? Since they'll both be shrinking at the same rate I'm guessing there won't be any extra space created. Or did you plan to leave the very top inner lip of the jar unglazed?
Thank you Ann ,it is so nice seeing you use the tools I learned with. This gave me a gentle reminder to use what I know feather than trying so many new tools.
I absolutely love your videos! Your explanations are clear. Your voice is pleasant. The music doesn’t overwhelm the narration. And, your work is lovely and inspiring.
Thanks so much Ann for this tutorial. I have always had problems getting lids right and this is so helpful. I live in rural Alaska and there is no access to workshops except online. Thank you for your teaching skills and sharing :)
Ann, I really enjoy your work and your narration. (I'm assuming your husband does the photography, and that's quite good as well!) I have learned so much from you! Blessings on you and yours!
you are clearly a master potter. i haven't binged watched your videos. you pay such close attention to details and additions to your pieces to make them more interesting, like the tiny bird you added to a vase (if i remember correctly) recently. i am wondering if you have ever done a bee design pottery piece?
Thank you so much for this informative video. I have one question... How do you check the fit of your lid again the beautiful pot with out scarring or distorting the rim?
I enjoyed this video and have watched many by you. On this particular project, maybe you could help me. I am getting very good at throwing lidded jars this way. I've even experimented with several types of lids. However, I am having a problem when I glaze my lidded jars. Too often they come out of the kiln and the lids have fused to the jar. I'm not sure if either I putt too much glaze fused together, or the glaze on top of the lid ran down to the space between lid and jar, or if my lid was just too snug and the lid clay fused to the the jar clay. Would love to see you do a part two to this and show us how you glaze it and what it looks like when done.
Have you by chance made a video of how to make lids for handbuilt pots? I would love to be able to do this. I have tried many times and my lids alaways end up warped in some way or another. They never fit flat. I don’t know how to add a flange. I mean I’ve seen it done but I can’t seem to get them to work for me. Thanks so much Ann.
Hi Michele - this is the closest thing I have now but will probably do a more "functional" lid video in the future. Thanks! ua-cam.com/video/Nb_wUGvx5yg/v-deo.html
Great video - the graphic of the 3 different designs at the start is very helpful! Question - how much clay did you start with for the jar, and how much for the lid? The jars you ended up with are an ideal size so I'd like to know what amount of clay I should aim for to achieve that :)
We are using Standard English Porcelain #365 (shrinks 15%) and started with just over a pound for the jar and about 10oz for the lids. Good luck, would love to see your work!
So helpful! When you glaze-fire your jars, do you fire them separately or together? For your first style jar (with the cap lid): I can't seem to glaze them so that they (1) look good, and (2) don't fuse together. Even tried using wax w/alumina added. And for the other lid styles, I'm left with a white margin of unglazed ceramic that just messes up my intended 'design'. Thank you, Ann!
YOu are so right Tricia. It is always a gamble. to fire them together. I just ruined a 12 inch cookie jar by trying to fire them together at the glaze fire. The fit was too tight , it stuck and I couldnt pry them apart but I didnt want to take a chance the pot would warp and they wouldnt fit together. I think I would definitely fire them together in the bisque fire. But for the glaze fire, it depends on how tight the fit. If the fit isnt as tight you have a better chance of it prying apart after the firing. If the fit it very tight, chances are that the lid will stick and you wont be able to pry them apart. As far as the white margin of unglazed clay, remember that and make it part of the design for next time. Be creative with it. Dont try and eliminate it but use that and make it part of the design. Good luck. They are always tricky
That's a lidded question 😀 Just depends on the type of lid I am making and the size. I never really weigh the clay - just size it up against what I need it for. If I had to guess - 1/2 lb?
I have fallen in love with your videos. I hear your voice, and I smile! Thank you so very much. :)

SAVED to my Pottery playlist!

Will have to remember using the paper strips while drying....
Another really neat instructional video.
Cheers..Freddie
Thanks as always Freddie!
Yea. I never thought of the paper strips. Great idea.
News paper strips are not needed. The pieces will not stick together unless sopping wet. This is a well done and informative video, but the paper strips are a waste of time.
fabulous clip on lids
I have to keep track of this tutoriel. So usefull! Thank you

Glad it was helpful Barbara - thanks for watching!
Sooooo good!! Thanx ❤
Excellent! Great instruction!
This is one of the best instructional videos I’ve seen. Sooo helpful!
Your videos are very relaxing. The narration has a postman pat sort of feel which is really pleasant to follow or just leisure watching.
Glad you like them!
thanks Ann, very helpful and practical. Just what I needed!

Great video. My next attempts on the wheel was going to be lidded jars. Perfect timing :-) thank you
Thanks Kat! Would love to see them!
Ann, thank you so much for your demonstration of kids. It was so helpful. I love your carved flower. SO BEAUTIFUL.
Thanks Eileen! I appreciate you watching!
Ann, sorry just noticed that my comment said kids instead of lids.
I made my first jar and lid from your instructions:) Thank you Ann!! I shared your video on my IG and credited you for showing me!
Awesome thank you!

Love your videos! You're an excellent teacher 🥰
One of the best videos for lids- I refer to it often- thank you for sharing your experience.
Thanks Janine! Appreciate you watching!
Best instructional for lids!!!
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for sharing this…. the tips you share have made the muddy water clear…definitely going to give each of them a whirl😜
Awesome! We love to hear it as it’s the reason we started the channel!
Geniales trabajos I demostraciones, enhorabuena, profesional👏👏👏👏
you are clearly a master potter. i haven't binged watched your videos. you pay such close attention to details and additions to your pieces to make them more interesting, like the tiny bird you added to a vase (if i remember correctly) recently. i am wondering if you have ever done a bee design pottery piece?
I was on a run for a while doing (underglaze painting) bee bowls. I may have to revive....we need the bees!
@@LittleStreetPottery : will it have little 3-D bees on it?
Love the lid carving and the newspaper trick!
Brilliant thanks 😊
It's great ! I like it very much ! Thanks
Very good instruction. It helps a lot. Thank you.
So glad you found it helpful - that is why we started this channel! Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much for this informative video. I have one question... How do you check the fit of your lid again the beautiful pot with out scarring or distorting the rim?
Wonderful video.
Great video i really love the detailed instructions. Can you glase the edges of the lid and the inside rim
Of the jar does it still fit with glaze?
I never glaze where the lid will touch the body because of that reason. The glaze will add a layer that is too thick some times.
Very nice
thank you
OMG!! I needed this so much for today! Thanks!!! 🤍
Great, glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching!
Awesome video and explanations! I’ve subscribed! ☺️

Superbe.

What is your clay body…stoneware or porcelain?
Standard porcelain #365. Thanks for watching!
So as a utter novice the lid is basicly a removable tiny pot that some how is attached to the main pot
yep! Each piece is treated as such!
