I'm curious about what kind of strainer you're talking about.
The only ones I've ever seen are those little metal cannisters
with a chain and the ceramic kind that fit inside the lid
(difficult to make by hand). Is there some other kind?

Weary of cutting little strainer holes that fill up with glaze,
hoping for another solution.

Thanks,

PS
After seeing Doug's tea pot strainer hole patterns maybe I'll
stick to cutting little holes, this is a whole new world of
creativity.
