I've now started the habit of pulling 2-4 handles for each mug. That way, if I screwed up the first handle, I already have backup. Alternatively, I can pick the best of the handles I pulled for that mug and attach it.

Potter tip ^

@adamhanson5565 4 года назад

My method is similar, count the number of mugs that I'm going to be trimming, then pull handles for around 1.5x the number of mugs I'll need.

@Julia-kg4tf 3 года назад

I like how you explain everything like I'm 5 years old, that's exactly what I needed

@homebrewer7 11 месяцев назад

After 16 years as a beginner of making mugs you have caused me to like making them. I hate handles. I will be 87 this November 18th.

@rileymadsen5375 5 лет назад

Hey I just found your channel the other day and its AWESOME! I bought a kiln a while back and actually stopped doing pottery for a while because the first "good" creation I made got destroyed in my, now deceased, grandma's manual kiln. I just watched your two videos on using the skut kiln and applied the methodology to mine. Today I did my first successful bisque firing and painted some glaze on the piece. My kiln is now set on high for glazing and I am about to go to bed! I look forward to learning more techniques from you in the future, thanks for all the dedication to this craft and for sharing tips on youtube. Take care - Riley

Such a great video, thank you. I have been having problems with attaching my handles, I think the mugs have been too dry. Watching this vid I had a real light bulb moment. I like the towel idea too.

@VioletEPK 5 лет назад

I love out-of-the-box handles. They really give the mug more personality. Back when I took my first ceramics class, we had to pull 100 handles before we did mugs. It sucked at the time, but I appreciated it when I could pull nicer handles. (still not my favorite thing to do though)

@meganaugustin2170 2 года назад

You crack me up. Thanks for the video, I will be trying the "carrot" method for my handles today!

@strivingformindfulness2356 5 лет назад

Note to those who do make and sell mugs: *Please* make at least some of your mug handles large enough into which four fingers will fit *comfortably.* 2.25" to 2.5" on the inside, and more of a square shaped handle, would be great. This type of handle makes it so much more pleasant and comfortable to hold the mug. Thank you from a handcrafted mug lover.

@EarthNationCeramics 5 лет назад

This is a fair note. I will be making a "different handles" video soon.

@SuperDavidBrothers 3 года назад

Wow I didn't know there were such handles as the ones you made where one is really really curled up like that and another looks like a hair clip that looks so so amazing man spot on job dude!

@sharontaylor9244 5 лет назад

Your two best tips IMO, start with a piece of clay the right size to make just one handle, rather than pulling multiple handles from a larger piece, and decide where to cut the ends by holding the pulled handle behind the cup. Thank you, hadn’t figured those out for myself yet.

Great tips. Extruded handles work great also all of the handles are more uniform and lets face it easier to apply. I also use a torch on most of my pottery no cracking and i can bisque fire in one or 2 days with out issues. ~ Big G Pottery

@jaimegiglio2301 2 года назад

A question I have is how long do you let the handle dry and mug dry before attaching?

@vikio452 Год назад

@@jaimegiglio2301 just until the surface isn't sticky, and the handle and mug can hold their shape a bit when you press on them. You don't want to create a squishy mess.

@alinacampos-vega2368 3 года назад

@chupablahblah 5 лет назад

I make my mugs different by making four little (0.5 oz) balls of clay and sticking them on the bottoms and smushing them a little bit to make a little bit flat. This was born out of being too lazy to trim so many bottoms but everyone loved them so much (said they were "so cute") that I just still do it.

@marthagSC 5 лет назад

Try using only 3. Tripods are more stable than 4-leggers.

I’m addicted to your videos, I wish I could learn from you in person! I have a question about your sponge, what is this? I have never seen a sponge like that and it looks so useful. Greetings from France!

Is a mud tools sponge, they have three different ones. I believe most of them are made from memory foam and they're a lot smoother than most rough sponges

Invest in a clay gun its easier to extrude handles then to pull every handle every time you cab also pull extruded handles its more consistent

@michaelhigbe9443 3 года назад

Two questions for you - 1. How much clay do you use for your mugs? 2. How tall are your cylinders for mugs before you fire them?

@EarthNationCeramics 3 года назад

I don't have a standard size for how much clay I use. I usually go by feel; as this video is a little older my mugs are much larger now. as far as the shrinkage rate goes this Clay is BMiX so it shrinks in between 10 and 12%. Which of course is dependent on the size of the mug as I do not have a standard size for my mugs. I'm not a productionist, I'm an artist.

@michaelhigbe9443 3 года назад

Earth Nation Ceramics I asked because I just started using B mix and I usually throw to “as tall as I can-ish” which so far has been about 5.5 to six but I really didn’t count on the shrinking. Thanks for the tips esp. your candid glaze info. M

Same dryness? Sorry, but that is absolute nonsense. Do you need to dry things slowly if it isn't the case? Yes. Should you anyway to ensure the attachment point holds? Also yes.
