Thank you so much for your kind patient instruction, I’ve been potting for 30 years and alway shied away from lids, this put a spring in my creativity😅❤❤❤
I made one using this method recently and it worked very well! Except I cut the inner ridge at the top so the lid sits outside the flange instead of inside. I’m amazed how flat you were able to get the lid (mine is a dome), but it was my first attempt. I also miscalculated where to start curving inward so the bottom is shorter than I wanted. I’ll try it again using your top third method. Thank you for creating such fantastic videos either way detailed instructions.
Thank you for your comment Denis😊. I’m so glad to hear you tried this. To make a flat top there are few small adjustments. I will make a flat top version video one day.
So lovely!! I've made pots with your other method so now I need to try this one, too! Thanks for such good instructions AND for showing the finished pots at the end -- so appreciated.
Thank you for your comment Lynn😊 I’m trying to make my videos the one I wanted to watch when I started pottery. I’m glad this video is working for many other fellow potters!
I am so glad I found your UA-cam page. : ) You are a good potter!! and now you are teaching me things I want to know about jars with lids etc. Thank you!! : )
Thank you for your comment Alethia😊. My firing is cone 6 and hold time is 30 minutes at the top temperature. Does it sound low for you? I recently had a test at cone 8 and some of my glaze didn’t work well so I’m happy with cone 6. Glaze recipe! Some recipes are not my own recipe so I can’t share but I have my own recipe which I can share happily. I’m planning to video which includes the glazing so I will share my recipe at that point.
I love watching your videos, it's like watching magic. I have been doing a handbuilding class, but I love to watch work at the wheel. This jar has a beautiful shape. I had a question! I noticed you made a hole in the wall to keep the walls straight, how did you close it during trimming - was it with the kidney, I can see a small mark after trimming but perhaps it is closed? I think I would keep biscuits in a jar like this :)
Thank you for your lovely comment Malcolm😊. The pin hole can be closed anytime during the trimming or after the trimming . You can close with the kidney or smooth with finger. The jar will still shrink so this small pin hole will be closed naturally so you need to vanish the visible part. You may think the trapped air may cause a clack if you dry as lid on. In my experience once the lid is separated the clack doesn’t happen while the drying process. But if you are worried you can keep the pin hole until the jar becomes completely dry then fill the hole. This tiny hole will be covered by glaze also.
Thank you for your comment Jane😊 You don’t need to make a hole for the bisque firing. I assume your question is for the bisque firing, if so the pot should be bone dry for the firing so there is no moisture inside. If your question is about during the drying process between after the trimming until the bisque firing you still don’t need a hole as the pot has shrunk enough already so even you put the lid back on the air inside doesn’t make a crack. I hope I answered your question.
Thank you for your question 😊 The air vent hole can be closed when you are trimming. The shrinkage after the trimming is smaller so you can close the lid to dry the jar. It is better to dry as closed. The lid and the body fit well.

Thank you for your comment 😊. Since I’ve started to use this technique Lidded Pot became one of my favorite subjects. I hope you will be the same.

I need to practice this method more. Thank you for demonstrating. Do you mind sharing what kind of wax you use? I like that it is so thick.
Thank you for your comment Pamela😊 This wax is Mayco wax. ONE PIECE technique is my favorite. please try it.
You fire at cone 10, right? I love your glazes - do you make them? could you also share about those one day?
Thank you for your comment Alethia😊. My firing is cone 6 and hold time is 30 minutes at the top temperature.

Lovely, thanks for sharing! I wonder if you could share a link or name of that spinny tool you used for trimming the lid! Thanks 🙂

That is a brilliant idea putting the pool noodles on the edge ... where you rest your arms. !!! : )
Do you need to make a hole again before bisc firing to let the moisture out because it has the lid on?
Thank you for your comment Jane😊 You don’t need to make a hole for the bisque firing. I assume your question is for the bisque firing, if so the pot should be bone dry for the firing so there is no moisture inside.
If your question is about during the drying process between after the trimming until the bisque firing you still don’t need a hole as the pot has shrunk enough already so even you put the lid back on the air inside doesn’t make a crack.
I hope I answered your question.
When do you close the hole? Is it just sealed up with glaze?
Thank you for your question 😊 The air vent hole can be closed when you are trimming. The shrinkage after the trimming is smaller so you can close the lid to dry the jar. It is better to dry as closed. The lid and the body fit well.
