Oops, One of our lovely viewers pointed out that we didn't pierce the canister to release pressure as the canister dries. We did but missed the footage in the editing. I do this with a pin tool at the base of the flange, a little after making but before trimming. Watch out for the satisfying whoosh as the pressure is released!!!
Fantastic video. Extremely clear and inspiring. I learned this technique ages ago but forgot about it. And good reminder about using the pin tool to make a whole and avoid this beautiful piece exploding in the kiln.
Great video. I was very happy this came up in my feed- I was so excited to hear your Australian accent! Yay! 🥳 I have been watching lots of potters but I am so very happy someone as skilled as you from AU has decided to post. Thank you 🙏
Omg this is my new favorite pottery channel! Absolutely love your videos and have been binge watching and learning so much! Thank you for the fabulous videos!
Yes, good question. I don't glaze the galley or the flange - that is the areas where the lid and the base fit together. I carefully wipe them completely clean of glaze. This does not really affect the utility or the appearance and the whole outside is glazed. The inside and the inside of the lid are also glazed. Just the area where the lid and base sit together are unglazed. So firing them together is not a problem. Sometimes they still do fuse together lightly and they can easily be separated by knocking them on a table. BTW I usually use a more utilitarian glaze on the inside for easy cleaning and then a matt or satin glaze on the outside.
I enjoyed the video and learned new techniques. My only comment is that through all the trimming, the biggest thing I never hear ceramists discuss is waiting for that perfect Goldilocks moment of knowing WHEN is the perfect time to trim. Too early & its a mushy disaster, too late and you get jagged edges. I supposed experience is the best teacher but if anyone has any secret clues how to "know when to trim" I'd love to see a video on this.
Great point. Will try to incorporate this into a video. There are a couple of ways of working out if the clay is a good consistency to trim. Although unless you have the benefit of your own working space it can be really tricky in getting the work to the right consistency at the right time in a community studio situation! Thanks for the comment!
Wow❤ Great video! One question...It's not necessary to peirce a hole in the clay after you use the air pressure to shape the lid? Thanks for the video.
Hi, thanks so much for pointing this out! we did shoot video for this and we missed it in the editing. I do this with a pin tool at the base of the flange, a little after making but before trimming. Will add a reminder in the description! It makes such a satisfying whoosh as the pressure is released. Thanks v much
I have tried these a few times. While it is fun and the shapes are satisfying I feel there is a tradeoff in that, to have enough clay for a good gallery and flange, you need to throw with significantly thicker walls than usual, resulting in a heavy pot. I guess it isn’t that big a problem with canisters that usually sit in one place but I’m always bothered when I lift a pot that feels heavy. I’ve tried making the walls thicker only where the lid will be separated, or trimming down the walls after separating, but this inevitably interferes with the satisfying straight walls. I’d love to hear any thoughts you have about this. Thanks.
Yes, I do agree. The walls do need to be a little thicker for this to work. However, I find that if I push in the part of the wall that becomes the flange - must be done whilst the clay is wet - I can get away with a less pronounced gallery. I agree re the trimming interfering with the straight walls on the outside but removing some weight on the inside might be an option. These particular canisters are not unduly heavy, although that might be relative. I like a little weight for stability when removing lids.
@@sarahj2424 Yes, I’ve done that as well and it works pretty well, but you don’t get the solid lock of a flange and gallery - the top tends to slide around a bit, so you have to adjust it the lid whenever you close it.
I don't have a video that shows the canisters being glazed however a similar technique of inside and outside glazing can be found in my tea bowl video here th-cam.com/video/NJH0D0ap2K4/w-d-xo.html I glazed the inside and outside in different glazes Once the insides were glazed I dipped the outsides. I dipped the top and base separately and then i made sure the galley and flange were really well wiped before firing the two together. I have found this technique works very well in making sure the lid and base fit perfectly. Hope this helps!
The words constantly blacking out the actual process of you collaring makes it really difficult to follow. I wish I could just watch it unedited. If you want the words just put them in the corner or something.
Thank you for the feedback.... Your comment helps me understand another comment below too. We will switch to the text on the side or below so as to keep the continuity of a process. Thanks for taking the time!

This is a great simple way. Excellent
Glad you liked it

Thank you, that very kind!
Omg this is my new favorite pottery channel! Absolutely love your videos and have been binge watching and learning so much! Thank you for the fabulous videos!
Thank you, that's so lovely to hear 😊
Great video, just what I needed. Your instructions are clear and concise. Appreciate that.
That's lovely to hear.
Super Excellente explication Merci beaucoup depuis la Corse.
You are most welcome, and greetings to beautiful Corse!
Wow. This design is so elegant!
Thank you! 😊
I love all things practical when it comes to pottery, thank you!
You are most welcome. I agree! things that work well make me happy!
I love your videos- so happy I found your channel 🙂
Thank you, I hope you find them useful!
That looks like such an efficient way to make that pot. Great explanation. Thank you!
You're most welcome. It really is efficient and when you get the hang of it it is simple.
Great video! Can you please explain how to fire them together without the glaze to stick?
Yes, good question. I don't glaze the galley or the flange - that is the areas where the lid and the base fit together. I carefully wipe them completely clean of glaze.

I was just try to make lids for the first time recent! Perfect timing for this great video!
Great, I'm so glad it's useful. Lids can be tricky at first!
I love the color of your clay.
It's my favourite clay at the moment... It's yellow speckle
👏 Really nice video!!
Thank you very much!
i will try! thank you
Great 👍 enjoy!!!
Great videos. Must try this.
Thank you. Definitely try it. This method is very satisfying.
Great video. I can see lots of these in use!
Very useful 😀

I love making one pieces and you don't necessarily need a gallery, I usually just cut in at an angle which works fine for what I need :)
@@sarahj2424 Yes, I’ve done that as well and it works pretty well, but you don’t get the solid lock of a flange and gallery - the top tends to slide around a bit, so you have to adjust it the lid whenever you close it.
These canisters look so good and so practical. I could do with a dozen of these !!
Is there a video showing exactly how you glaze these?
I don't have a video that shows the canisters being glazed however a similar technique of inside and outside glazing can be found in my tea bowl video here th-cam.com/video/NJH0D0ap2K4/w-d-xo.html
