In this clip, an excerpt from his DVD Pottery Techniques: Making Lidded Forms and Trimming, Bill van Gilder demonstrates making a lidded jar on the pottery wheel. The beauty of this jar is that you can make the whole thing from just one lump of clay. And less centering is always a good thing, wouldn't you say? Enjoy! - Jennifer Poellot Harnetty, editor
