Making some porcelain “carrots†before making porcelain handles. I think it’s a god shape to start with… wedged and compressed into this shape before pulling into handle shape.
So I just finished pulling some traditional handle. I just gotta let them set up a bit… and then I can start attaching them to mugs!!! I like to loop then over like this so that they are already most-of-the-way into curved handle shape before they start to set-up. Of course there can be a lot of re-shaping after they’re attached to the mug!
Here we go…
Score… slip… squish… attach… repeat… repeat… repeat…
Just finishing up the latest batch of porcelain mugs on another Mugshot Monday. Handles are attached & under wraps for the night as they start to dry slowly. Tomorrow I will do a little clean-up on them before I unwrap to let them dry completely.
