After Ken makes pots that need lids, he throws the lids "off the hump." This means he starts with a large lump of clay, centers it,

And starts throwing lids.

It take a while to get the right shape and size.

Excess water is removed with a small sponge.

Ken checks for size with a small wooden measure.

Once a lid is thrown, he uses a wooden tool he made to shape it up from the hump.

Then the lid is sliced off the hump with a wire.

Then lifted off and set on a ware board to dry. Later the handles are put on the lids.

Pots and their lids -with a few extra.
