Lided

I finally for the chance to work with my flameware! And thanks to the line blend tests I know what the clay body looks like after firing to cone 10. A pretty brown that will go well with my other Woodfired stuff. I constructed these lids by throwing them upside down, trimming, then attaching a small piece of clay then throwing the handle. The flameware drys much faster than my stoneware so I wasn't able to attach handles in time. I think for some casserole roasters these aren't too bad. The lip opens a bit which makes it a little easier to pick up without handles. But lesson learned. Handles sooner. I will make some lugs to use as handles on the next set and hopefully get some nice pans I can use on the stove.
