I went into Michael's the other day and they just had too many kinds of clay and colors and I don't want to purchase something that won't work.

Great idea. I was throwing teapots and lids this week and, as usual, hating the trimming of these little lids. The part that drops down into the teapot (what do you call that part, anyway?) angles inward as the lid sits on the wheel and no amount of clay wadding holds the sucker down. Pisses me off and makes for nasty language around the studio. I finally came to my senses and threw this tiny tiny chuck for the lids to sit on. Now more than an inch wide and not much taller. It almost totally cured the frustrating problem.

(I actually made one from marine plywood and masonite long before I ever saw the commercial version). <br />So nice to just pop them in and out without having to stop and re-affix that pad of clay.Anne Webbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07017350748349123856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6574046592294768817.post-49165313998614644592011-02-19T08:52:04.400-05:002011-02-19T08:52:04.400-05:00It's not 10 it's 11...but then we lose yea...It's not 10 it's 11...but then we lose years as we age don't we??
