I made my second closed form lid jar in class this evening (not a round one because I hadn’t seen this video yet), and watching your other videos on this topic gave me so much confidence. It worked so much better than the first time. I’m fascinated by your mention of a round wired trimming tool to trim and burnish at the same time. I’m going to look for one. Thank you so much from Canada for these excellent tutorials. You are so generous.
Thank you for your encouraging comments Denise😊. People’s comments are the best motivation for me to make more videos. You are in Canada❗️It is great feeling I can share my experience with the people far away from UK. Thank you!
I threw a few of these this afternoon, not having done any before, and watched this video to see how to trim them but had to rush back to my studio in my pjs to put holes in them for the air to escape- should have watched your video first 😂😂😂 brilliant, thank you 😊
Thank you for your comment 😊 I’m so happy to hear your try. Making good round shape is actually difficult. I found this way is the easiest way for me. Let’s make more!
This is the best training video! The explanations of the “how” and “why” during the process and with the tool selection reinforced the excellent learning experience - thank you! ❤
wow😊 Your comment made me so happy! I am really willing to share my experience of pottery. Making pots makes me so happy so I want many people to experience this happiness. Thank you for watching!
Its a lovely shapped lidded pot, i like the angle the lid sits into the hole, thankyou for sharing how you do it, as always your spoken tone is calming and precice, it matches what your hands are doing as everythhing comes together🎉😊
I am so impressed with how your pots don't have any undulations to them. I watch so many people who are pro potters who have so much undulations in their work it drives me crazy. Your work is superb. ❤
Thank you for your comment. I am glad to know I am explaining ok. Wow！Uruguay! I am so glad I have started to do TH-cam because I can share my experience with the people all over the world🥰
You are so very skilled and precise. Such beautiful lidded pots. I had seen one of these videos awhile back and was hoping to see them again, and then they came up in my feed without even searching. This will take me a while to learn to do this, but definitely something I want to learn. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you Tricia your comments cheer me up😊. “One Piece “ series is one of my favorite methods. The most difficult part is “a recess “ so I recommend to start from straight wall ONE PIECE lidded jar. I posted the Pear shape version which is also interesting to try. I am planning more ONE PIECE to post please look forward them😁
I am so glad you enjoyed the video! ONE PIECE series is definitely one of my favorite series. I will show more versions in the future, please look forward those😉
You make it look so easy! I will try again, with your tips -- and hope for a better result. Thanks! Also, I'd love to know your glazing process (a future video?) and what cone you fire these to!
Hi Penny! Thank you for your comment. I am looking forward to hearing successful results 😉. I fire in cone 6 setting but use 30 minutes hold at the end. I will try to make glaze video sometime. ☺️
hello. I am just looking at your video now. Thank you this is very clear instruction. Two questions please? what type of clay are you using and after you throw the closed form, how firm is the clay before you cut the lid. It looks like the clay is still somewhat soft. thank you.
Thank you for your comment Jen😊. This is sanded buff stoneware clay with 10% of Lava Fleck clay which gives nice freckles on the light tone glaze. The clay softness for trimming stage is almost same as usual trimming. When I reform the cutting edge it seems to be the clay needs to be soft, but it doesn’t need to be softer than usual trimming in reality. I hope my answer helps.
Thank you for your question 😊. Time is not really helpful as everybody’s studio condition is different. So please judge with the pot’s condition. This pot shouldn’t be soft when you trim. I gently press the belly part and if there’s no movement, it is good to go. please make sure the clay hasn’t change the colour to white which means too dry. I need to spray the water well and wrap with plastic sheet few hours to achieve what I want. I hope this make a sense for you.
Thank you for your question 😊. Is it a trimming loop wire tool? if so that one is no brand standard tool I bought on line longtime ago. The loop size is about 3 cm. It is round wire, not flat one. In the beginning I thought it is useless as I wanted a flat wire one to take clay out easily. But I realized if the pot is thinly thrown this tool is useful to trim and polish simultaneously.
Hi Gabriel, Thank you for your question. This is very standard needle. I have 2 different thicknesses. Thinner one is better for this job. As I spin the wheel the needle is easier than knife. The knife has width so it is not nor easy to control on the wheel. I use a knife when I cut the pot by hand. I did in the recent video “Facetted Salt Pot”
Hi Phil! Yes all my works are for sale but I don’t have online shop yet. I only sell at the shop in London. If you are able to visit London please let me know😊

Thank you😊. I try to stay longer on top of the pot when I pull the wall, maybe that helps the good results. Your comment encouraged me, thank you!
Thank you for the detailed learning experience and of using vertical walls first before forming the round form...

Great instructions! How long is the dry time when you place the jar back on and cut the lid?

Do you use a regular pin tool to cut the lid off the pot ? I have not tried this yet but thought I might need a thin sharp knife.
Hi Gabriel, Thank you for your question. This is very standard needle. I have 2 different thicknesses. Thinner one is better for this job. As I spin the wheel the needle is easier than knife. The knife has width so it is not nor easy to control on the wheel. I use a knife when I cut the pot by hand. I did in the recent video “Facetted Salt Pot”
