How to make a Tea Cup with a Strainer & Lid that Fit Perfectly

In this video I make a cup that can help you make the perfect cup of tea! It has its own strainer and lid making it really versatile. I show you how to throw the three parts on the pottery wheel and fit the strainer and then make a super stylish simple handle. There are a few parts to this, but the end result is such a winner. This cup makes the perfect studio cup, keeping warmth in whilst keeping stuff you don't want in your drink out! The YELLOW RIB featured in nearly every video has been with me for years and I use it for shaping, refining & compressing. I would never want to be without. It's hard to loose... and it just carries on. Along with my wheel - this is with me for the long haul! I would strongly recommend it here: https://amzn.to/4amaYIX (Yellow out of stock. Green one here) SCRATCH TOOL. I used to use a pin tool to scratch & score. It was time consuming! Recently I decided to splurge on a proper tool. It was really affordable too. This has saved me so much time as well.
