Before & After — Fixing a Teapot's Lid

You’ll have seen this process a number of times in my feed by now, but never narrated, like this. This is something I do to all the lidded forms I make, as even if the lids fit well once glazed, before they’ve been fired, after being reduction fired to 1290ºC, things can move, clay can warp and lids can often no longer fit as well as they did. Or, they simply sound terrible, the clay screeching as the two parts are twisted together. So, to fix this, I spread Chemico valve lapping paste onto the bare clay, (it’s never put on the glaze), and then the two pieces are ground together. It being greasy helps it stick onto the area I need to be sanded, and the carborundum does a great job of shaving away the parts of the rim, or lid, that were making it stick and scratch. It’s then washed thoroughly in warm soapy water and dried, and finally I’m met with a much smoother, more satisfying sound. It’s a repetitive process but one that’s always worth doing. #pottery #oddlysatisfying #asmr #craft #ceramics
