Lips

A technique I learnt from Robin Welch- let the thick rim of the jug dry to leatherhard,then redampen with draped leather [wetting it with a sponge a few times over 10 mins] until just the part that is to be the lip is softened,then proceed to pull lip in approved Harrow School of Art fashion [which you know,no- or do I have to show you that too?]- result-less distortion of the rest of the rim.
