These are all beautiful. I'm so inspired. #3 would make a great tea caddy, if there were a rubber gasket to make it more airtight

Thanks 😊

I can not believe I’ve never seen anyone make the second lid like that!! I kept thinking why are you attaching it that well!! Blown away.

Why add the first strip of clay she added on that one, though? Just to make the top heavier?

❤❤❤❤ thank so much for help me .. I need this

Thank you ☺️

I put a small piece of wax between the lid and the pot when trying to fit them so they won’t stick together, especially when the clay is moist. Even the gentlest pressure when separating them in the process can warp the lid or the pot.

Thank you, this was a very helpful video.

Always look forward to your videos, inspiring. Am new to pottery, would you suggest types of clay, underglazes & glazes for making a bird feeder & jewelry dish. Also, would be hand building, what thickness would you advice for rolling?

Aww, thank you! 😊 For a bird feeder I'd suggest a stoneware clay with a light/fine grog as it's helpful to fire over 1200C for things that are going outdoors and the grog will help make it easier to hand build with. The colour depends on what you prefer but a white will show up underglaze and glaze colours closer to the examples shown on the sales sites. For underglazes you just need to make sure that they will fire well up at the higher stoneware temp as some are just for earthenware. I like the speedball underglazes but we also use amaco velvet. Glazes for the bird feeder I'd suggest a gloss for ease of cleaning and make sure the firing temp matches whatever clay you choose. If you're using underglazes you'll need a transparent to go over them but otherwise just choose something you like. I use many of the brush on brands and find they're all good although they do each have a personality of their own so if you're unsure you can always make a few test tiles to try them before putting them on your work. For thickness I generally say around 5mm thick is a good compromise between strength and ease of building and the look of the final piece not being too chunky. Hope that helps 😊 have fun!

Thank you so much for sharing these techniques, they are amazing! Apologies if you have already answered this, but are you working on leatherhard clay on this video? Or is it softer? You make it seem so easy, I love your work!

Thank you 😊 The clay is not quite leather hard so it's strong enough to hold form but still flexible enough that it doesn't break when manipulated.

@@PaulaArmstrongCeramics thank you for taking the time to respond! Much appreciated! I will continue to experiment at home 😊 I am looking forward to building these lids!
