Making handles. Making mugs. Making more, more, MORE!!
Gotta start my HOLIDAY HOME SHOW with over a hundred mugs… or more?!
Starting with little nuggets of wedged clay…
then slammed on the table to make this little carrot shapes.
Then I pull my handles the traditional way with a bit of water and a lot of friction. I like to flip them into loops like this before I let them set-up. I think it’s easier to set 90% of the curve now BEFORE they start to stiffen up.
Then I cut out a good portion of the handles and attach them to the mugs…
score, slip, attach, repeat.
