3 different ways to make lids for hand built pots

I was asked for a video to show how to make a gallery lid for a hand built pot so here's a demo, with the added bonus of instructions for 2 other styles of lids you can use!

This demonstration is one cylinder shaped pots but the techniques will work on any shape vessel. This is the basics of how to make the lids which you can then expand on and alter to create many more extravagant designs 😊
