Adding a Clay Bowl Lid
Okay, I'm going to put a lid on this and I've kind of already moved ahead and laid out my lid and what I'm going to have to do is, I'm going to have to make the lid to where I know that it fits, but then I'm going to have to let it dry separately because it's going to sag if I leave it up there. So, I'm going to do that, and then what I can do is, I can take a coil and I can make the part that fits down in there and attach it to the bottom of the lid. Then I'll sit that to the side and let it dry. And a little bit more. And then I'll just smooth out this part and this will be the part that holds the lid on top once it dries. I'll smooth all this out a little bit more. I'll set this right here and if I want to put the knob or the handle on the top of the lid, I can do that now.
