I started to turn some lids yesterday using this clay base to hold them on the wheel,
but I kept damaging the lids when I tried to lift them off.
They were either sticking to the base or when I tried to prize them off with a knife I was catching the edge and marking it.
The Phrase
"Necessity is the Mother of invention" came to mind.
I came up with this Idea. Well it was new to me.
This way I can lift the lids off the wheel without damaging them
and it works.only 78 more to go.

Cover your hump with a thin layer of newspaper for easy removal :-)
Correction... Cover the hump with a thin layer of DAMP newspaper strips before you put the lid on it to trim. The lid sticks for trimming but is clean when removed!
what a brilliant idea...
Never done them that way before, I must try it myself.
cool idea... have to keep that in mind, you should submit it to ceramics monthly
