Trimming lids - Ceramics II

Welcome to my YouTube channel! In this video, we will be focusing on trimming lids to fit onto a pot with a gallery. A gallery is a opening on the top of a pot that is used to hold a lid in place. Trimming the lid to fit the gallery can be a bit of a challenge, but with the right tools and techniques, it is definitely doable. We will start by preparing the clay for the lid and centering it on the pottery wheel. From there, we will use our hands and a variety of tools to shape and smooth the lid. I will also demonstrate how to trim the excess clay from the rim of the lid and how to fit it onto the pot with the gallery. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced potter, I hope this video will be helpful for you. Thank you for watching and happy creating!
