Sugar bowl videos!

Found a set of lidded bowl videos! I don't know who this person is, but her technique is pretty good. The first two videos are refreshers on wedging and centering. Note how she dries the lid and pot together (beginning of video 6):

Beginning wheelthrowing week 7 working drawing & notes

No video this week- Simon Leach hasn't posted a lid like ours yet... maybe next semester.

This week's notes are a bit complicated- sorry about that. Here are the main points about making lids:

• Make the lid a bit smaller than the gallery or lid seat on the pot;
• Dry the lid and the pot together;
• Be careful not to put any glaze anywhere near where the lid and pot touch.
