    I enjoyed this video and have watched many by you. On this particular project, maybe you could help me. I am getting very good at throwing lidded jars this way. I've even experimented with several types of lids. However, I am having a problem when I glaze my lidded jars. Too often they come out of the kiln and the lids have fused to the jar. I'm not sure if either I putt too much glaze fused together, or the glaze on top of the lid ran down to the space between lid and jar, or if my lid was just too snug and the lid clay fused to the the jar clay. Would love to see you do a part two to this and show us how you glaze it and what it looks like when done.

They never fit flat. I don’t know how to add a flange. I mean I’ve seen it done but I can’t seem to get them to work for me. Thanks so much Ann.

    So helpful! When you glaze-fire your jars, do you fire them separately or together? For your first style jar (with the cap lid): I can't seem to glaze them so that they (1) look good, and (2) don't fuse together. Even tried using wax w/alumina added. And for the other lid styles, I'm left with a white margin of unglazed ceramic that just messes up my intended 'design'. Thank you, Ann!

    YOu are so right Tricia. It is always a gamble. to fire them together. I just ruined a 12 inch cookie jar by trying to fire them together at the glaze fire. The fit was too tight , it stuck and I couldnt pry them apart but I didnt want to take a chance the pot would warp and they wouldnt fit together. I think I would definitely fire them together in the bisque fire. But for the glaze fire, it depends on how tight the fit. If the fit isnt as tight you have a better chance of it prying apart after the firing. If the fit it very tight, chances are that the lid will stick and you wont be able to pry them apart. As far as the white margin of unglazed clay, remember that and make it part of the design for next time. Be creative with it. Dont try and eliminate it but use that and make it part of the design. Good luck. They are always tricky
