"So now I'm going to take my rib and I'm going to push in at the base; it's underneath my left hand, I'm pulling against the rib; I'm still thinning out the walls a little bit but I'm also trying to get closer to my final shape here. Now for this rim; I'm just going to leave a bead of clay, the lid isn't going to be sitting inside like it is on the other one; it's actually going to be draping over the top so I don't have to leave an area for that lid to rest. Now I'm just going to do one final shaping. And there is another example of a body for a tea pot; again give it an undercut, set that aside to dry and I will show you how to do the lids."
