Throwing a Small Lidded Pot Sugar Bowl Sized on the Potter's Wheel
Unfortunately, I misspelled sugar during the intro to the video- please ignore!
This video covers the basics of throwing a small pot (like a sugar bowl) with a gallery, and a lid thrown as a bowl- with the lip fitting into the gallery. Unlike the teapot lids I showed in my teapot video, this lid has no flange, and just rests atop and in the gallery of the pot. Once the pieces are thrown, I show how to trim them when leatherhard. The knob of the lid is actually trimmed from the thick piece of clay on the base of the thrown lid. Nothing is attached.
If you would like to see other ways of throwing a lid, check out my teapot video here: • How to throw and trim ...

I am a high school ceramics teacher and potter. I have been working in clay for over 30 years, and I have been teaching for over 28 years, the past 20 have been specifically teaching high school ceramics. I love what I do! I have my own studio in my home basement, where I work on my personal pottery for my Etsy site; www.etsy.com/shop/KaransPotsA...
I started my KZread channel a few years ago, to make videos to help my students if they are absent and miss a demo, or if they would like to explore more advanced techniques independently. I have been amazed to reach such a wider audience than my own students!

I'm doing a pottery session on Thursday with my girlfriend, Im certain she is going to make the series of unfortunate events sugar bowl, while I, am going to make the anastasia music box. I am so exited
Muy bonita esa vasija
In the old days, it was only the jar for jam/honey/mustard had the small notch for a spoon. The sugar pot does not have the notch,simply because you do not want a wet spoon to be put into a sugar bowl/pot.

Excellent point! I only mention it however, as it is quite common anymore to see notches in lids for sugar bowls. Just Google image search for sugar bowls and about 25% will show notches. I think it is just like words change their meaning sometimes through common use and acceptance... so has the notched sugar lid. ;)
I would like to know what do you after, you just let it dry or what it takes to be finished.

Right, Angel- when the lid and pot are done, I place the lid ON the pot- then I allow to dry slowly. Drying and firing a lid while ON is really helpful to make sure the lid will still fit after glaze firing. Sometimes, a pot or lid may warp, but keeping them together, really helps. (I am making a video on how to glaze a lidded pot, I'll have that up in a few weeks!) :-) When bone dry, then I fire, glaze, and refire. I have some videos on how I glaze if you want to check them out! :-) Karan

Love your videos! Great explanations and tips. But can you please ask the person whom always needs to cut a piece of wood while you make a video to hold off for a few minutes... A little respect for the potter please!!

Haaahaaahaaa!!! That's the noise of my potter's wheel would you believe! The motor is SO loud! Most of my videos I try to mute it, but it takes so much time! I am wanting to get a new wheel soon- so hopefully that won't be an issue!!!
