I read about this technique also in Ceramics monthly April 99, used by Brain=
Van
Nostrand. You can see of photo of him using this trimming technique on page=
60.

Have not tried it myself yet, but this lid technique combined with a piece =
of
gummy shelving fabric on the wheel head (idea I read about some time back on=
our
list) seems to have some good possibilities in my opinion. I have always
trimmed with bits of clay to secure to pot on the wheel head or chuck, with =
lots
of misfigured lip rims. I like to trim rather soft to alter the feet quite =
a
bit, and this lid trick sounds like a good idea.
