Beginners guide to throwing a lidded piece ( Drop in lid)

#lid #pottery #ceramic
there are many different types of lids but the drop in lid is still the king of lids. it dose not move much and its real easy to make. its basically just a plate with a wall that has been measured. Next time we will be going over jars and the trick on how to make them :)

You are an absolute scream. I've never had so much fun learning. Thank you, Kaz. Sandton, South Africa

[@natashacloutier3285]

Oh, how did you hurt your hand? 😮 Ouch! Love your videos.

[@Kaylad8528]

Great thorough video! I'm still working on getting up a good cylinder at all, but I can easily follow along with all of the steps here, and appreciate that you repeated the really important stuff like not being afraid to measure and not putting a sticky lid on a sticky pot! In my pottery class, my teacher substituted a set of disposable chopsticks connected at a 90 degree angle with a rubber band. The vertical chopstick goes inside the pot, just almost touching the bottom, and then you adjust the horizontal chopstick to be right at the height of the lip. The horizontal chopstick also has a 2nd rubber band wrapped around it, which you then move right or left to indicate the diameter of your vessel's top. (I was trying to find a picture, but I guess it's not a common hack!) This is a cheap/easy way to measure without writing down a measurement, and like the calipers, isn't super subject to error; the rubber bands stay put!

Loved watching this process! Total newb and this baffled until now. Looks like you've got broiler burns on those hands. Chef style battle scars.

"when I was a young warthog" omg

[@CelticKatt]

I came to say that too! Nice little reference quote there. 🦁 👑

[@trishserafini8843]

I absolutely love and appreciate all your videos. You explain it in a way that is simple and easy to understand! You changed my life! I am finally making my own set of plates! I am so grateful to have found your chanel! Thank you for sharing your valuable knowledge! Aloha from Hawaii!

[@nutapril4560]

Thank you for telling us the anticipated errors that we beginners may make

[@alandunnighan2159]

I have just started making a few jars (different type of lids) but going to give the drop in lid a go. Great clip as always D

[@tracyairth8625]

Really good job explaining points several times so we get it!

[@susanpriem1739]

Wonderful video as usual. Thanks. Hope you hand heals quickly. Looks painful....

[@amanda-wr5rn]

I know this video is three years old but…I feel ATTACKED🙄😂😂 3:38

Made my first lid pot had to make 3 lids to one good one thanks

[@doreenwood3508]

Thank you Mr. Teacher I needed this,

[@Deedeee92]

This was super helpful, thank you so much!! You’re hilarious and a great teacher!

[@luizagriebeler]

I love the imaginary students that has the super important role of being criticized so we learn. “No, no Jason!” “Wait a second Ashley!”. Mine is called Helen, everything is always her fault kkk

[@bromewoodfleuriste3962]

This was so helpful and well explained thank you

[@hussicots]

Psst circumference is the distance around the perimeter of the circle. Diameter is the distance across. But you were probably just testing us, eh? Love the lesson! I'm going to try out your method. How do you put a knob on without sinking in the lid?

[@meredithinserra4670]

The first thing I noticed was your badly wounded hand. I see in comments it's better now! I know how hard it is to throw and work in the mud when your hand is hurt. BEEN THERE, DONE THAT, HAD TO PUT ON LAYERS OF BANDAGES AND WEAR A GLOVE TOO.

[@joiefinley1064]

Please skip the background music. Hard for hearing impaired to sort. Thanks!

[@ellastafford7377]

Did you add water before removing the base from the bat

[@cathysherwood6939]

Hope your hand is healing up Dante! Looks like a nasty burn😕

[@everythingnifty7751]

Dante you poor thing what did you do to your hand??? Did u burn it on your kiln or something? 😥

[@EarthNationCeramics]

It was badly burned at work. Don't worry. It only took a week to heal. It's gone now. :)

[@everythingnifty7751]

Okay thats good it looks painful ☺

[@susanjaracz1574]

I was about to ask the same thing.

[@christinewrestsmith6957]

I wondered too.

[@susanjaracz1574]

@@EarthNationCeramics Do you need some scar oil?

[@sarahmurphy6759]

Good video. Very helpful! I truly need help with lids.

[@jenndanza]

Great information! Thank you!

[@rondacorkhill1654]

what kind of food do you like? You need to make a Dante's vocabulary book.

[@jackiemorrison6024]

That was great..thx Donte

[@BerryLoner-wm1qv]

thanks for the video

[@helenbrown6194]

It’s more accurate if you use two sets of callipers.firstly as you’ve shown internal measure the jar .use the second pair to make the external measurement of your lid,at the base where it meets what will be the grip area.this bottom section when turned up the right way is the width that you should be measuring,not the top.as long as it’s not any wider than the base it will always fit.sorry if this is a bit confusing ,and it means you have to buy a second set of callipers,hope it helps.

[@lisayates4230]

Very informative :) thank you! Owch! Your poor hand...

[@l2hetoric]

Man, your videos are super helpful but do you mean to repeat info immediately after initially stating it? Seems to be that way in a number of videos :P Keep throwing brah.

[@EarthNationCeramics]

Take note people, this is how you give constructive criticism without being a butthole. Thank you for being awesome and helping the channel :)

[@srhsmustangmudhole]

It is obvious Dante has experience teaching extreme beginners lol Says the high school ceramics teacher, great videos! Thank you!

[@badair6551]

"When I was a young warthog..." 😂

[@deborahbehr3910]

What did you do to your hand. Ouch.

[@liuolivia6078]

is your hand ok? looks really soure

[@EarthNationCeramics]

The fryer and I got into a fight. I won but my hand was messed for 2 weeks. I'm good now.

[@alaxeasfikas6299]

Can you put a knob on the first lid you made .

[@EarthNationCeramics]

In the leather phases you can but for the purposes of this video I probably just destroyed it

[@BaekhyunBash]

I for some reason always have trouble making lids, no matter how skilled I am (i'd say im about intermediate level) I think its a problem with me centering small pieces of clay.

[@Mitch3343]

Have you considered throwing a lid "off the hump"?

[@verar7861]

Thank you
