The Hinges on this Flip Top Lid are Ingenious!

In this video I show you how I make this flip top lid for a wheel thrown container. The hinge pins are fired in the clay...so there is no assembly after firing. I make, trim and glaze, showing you how to handle the lid throughout the project. I discuss the use of kanthal wire for this project. This is another original idea from Tufts Studio! #originalidea #originalideas #pottery #potterydesign The YELLOW RIB featured in nearly every video has been with me for years and I use it for shaping, refining & compressing. I would never want to be without. It's hard to loose... and it just carries on. Along with my wheel - this is with me for the long haul!
