Wet Oval Lava Jar
Wet in the Studio
Oval Lava Jar w/ Notch Lid
the lid was just made and will require sanding and refinement
when it dries more and can be easily handled...
the notch compensates for the irregularity of the hand formed lid
requiring return to the proper place...
the now flexible lip also helps with fit adjustment...
the kiln often changes all this, so I try to do a fine job of it now
hoping the kiln and I are seeing things the same way during firing...
we'll see...
