I don’t know if it makes sense, but your voice sounds like the female version of the guy that narrates “How it’s made” and it’s just lovely 😌

[@eileenc5159]

You know when Keith Bryner cries at pieces that touch him, well my dear I felt emotional. Simply extraordinary. 👏 bravo 🙌

[@marciaarnold4186]

Loved this!!!

[@tonijfriend4788]

These are soooo AMAZING!!! WOW!! Thank you for sharing! Thank you for your verbal details and excellent visual!

[@michelewood7092]

These are awesome! So elegant...Can't wait to try some of these.

[@amiedavis5257]

LOVE that spiral cut handle. I love asymmetrical things and they are difficult to find.

[@katjoy9921]

Love your work. Especially the last one.

[@devcodes312]

It's especially difficult to pull handles for porcelain mugs!!!! Thank you so much! I cannot wait to utilize these suggestions 😍

[@ivarsmileyface7832]

Very informative and inspiring! Thank you!

[@denisenoble4010]

I liked the card cut design, the patterned roller, the extruded handle, the handle made from the top 1/3rd bent over and attached , the handle made by cutting the rim almost off then bent and attached. As you can see by the list, most of the handle ideas I liked. Thanks Ann, another thought provoking video turning the simple handle into something special😊

[@chimesmusicandvideoproduct370]

Thank you for this beautiful solution to being a terrible handle puller! Your video is awesome, showing simple steps to getting a great solution to a frustrating process for me. Very clear instruction. I am inspired to go out to my studio and finish the mugs I threw the other day with your neatly done handles...yeah! You have saved me lots of frustration and clay!

[@LittleStreetPottery]

Glad it helped - stay tuned for this weeks video, it will help you design the right handle for the right mug!

[@lindagoldberg2325]

So incredibly helpful!

[@DesenfoqueGaussiano]

The credit card system is great and I will give it a try asap. Thanks for sharing these useful techniques!!!!!! 🙏❤️🙏

[@metasymphony]

Definitely gonna try some of these! The one where you make a 1 inch taller cylinder and use the top strip for a handle is such an elegant solution!

[@pamkelly-kinniburgh5913]

I LOVE your "classes!" You are a great inspiration and you create amazing work with the simplest of tools and so much patience. As a novice potter it would have been very helpful if you'd included how you actually attached the handles, given that most of these had designs. I can't imagine how you could have done it without wrecking the pattern!

What beautiful ideas! I love the one where you made the mug twice as tall and pulled the handle down from that. But on that one, I was wondering, how then do you trim the bottom of the mug without ruining the top part of that handle???

Thanks Amy!

[@peoniesanddahliaz]

Nice video. What are good ways of keeping the handle in the shape you want and to keep it up and prevent it from weighing down while it’s drying? Thanks.

[@LittleStreetPottery]

Thanks for watching Huy!

[@Handmadebygas]

Great video! Thanks for sharing. May I ask how much clay do you use foe these mugs? Thanks

[@LittleStreetPottery]

I'm using Standard English Porcelain #365 and about 1 pound for a 4" mug and a bit more for the larger mugs. Because each of my mugs are custom (I'm not a production potter) the weights will vary each time based on clients request.

[@EarthaEyes]

love these examples. i'm curious why you didn't mention scoring and slipping the handles until the last one

[@LittleStreetPottery]

Probably an editing decision by the cranky director of Unruely Productions :)

[@linr1294]

I’d love to try the spiral…. Did you do this right after you threw or when it was leather soft? Thanks so much!

[@LittleStreetPottery]

Leather soft is correct! Thanks for watching!

[@barbarab285]

I especially wanted to be able to make the last to handles but found my clay to floppy and difficult to handle. Any suggestions?

[@lindaseguin9039]

Great video, thank you. Is that porcelain that you’re using?

[@LittleStreetPottery]

Yep...Standard English Porcelain #365

[@genevievechoquet3750]

Thank you Ann; can you tell us which clay you use ? Thanks

[@genevievechoquet3750]

I have just seen Standard English porcelain...

[@homebrewer7]

[@heatheralexander3065]

How do you trim the mugs with the spiral cut handles?

[@yacinegacem9923]

Was looking for mugs you can stack in each others and were hoping you would show a handle with its bottom side open. Something worth trying?

[@LittleStreetPottery]

Will put that on the list! Thanks for the idea!

Can you make a video of how you attach the handles?

[@annruel9142]

That is a great idea for a video. I will put that on the list. Thanks for the idea Ivy.

[@defyant1]

Ann, I struggle with the "timing" of adding the handles. What is the proper amount of dryness for the mug and handles. Do you have a rule-of-thumb? 4 hrs drying? 1 hr ? or other easier way to determine the "when to add." Thanks so much.

[@melibop1]

For the spiral cut handle, do you cut it at the leather hard stage?

[@LittleStreetPottery]

No - just while I'm at the throwing stage on the wheel. Thanks

[@HuyNguyen-lk1hp]

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@annruel9142]

Thanks so much for the kind words and for watching!

[@raquelasandino5825]

Do you not score the mug and handle before attaching with slip?

[@LittleStreetPottery]

Most of the time, yes. Check out our video on the 10 ways to attach handles to see my preferred method plus 9 more. Thanks for watching!

[@lindagoldberg2325]

I tried two of these techniques - cutting a profile with a credit card and rolling a textures. Sure was a nice break from pulling handles.

[@LittleStreetPottery]

Fantastic!

[@taylormcmahon9391]

Do you have any trouble attaching the wheel-thrown handles when the mug body is still very wet?

[@LittleStreetPottery]

Yep, especially with porcelain. I let it set up just a bit before attaching - not exactly leather hard but a couple hours after throwing. Good luck!

[@dawnderijk4974]

What surface are you working on?

[@LittleStreetPottery]

Standard Porcelain #365. Thanks for watching.

[@susansoto1241]

What kind of clay do you use?

[@marymacdonald3506]

How long after throwing did you wait to cut the handles from the top Are they leather hard?

[@LittleStreetPottery]

I typically put handles on right after I throw the piece - not quite leather hard. The key is to be sure to match the clay hardness - if the piece is leather hard, then put a leather hard handle on it.

[@Nick15650]

Where do you get those hand extruder for making this handles? TIA

We get them from Diamondcore...they are great!

I notice you don’t score and slip before attaching handle - how does it adhere to the clay ?

[@LittleStreetPottery]

watch our 10 tested handles vid to check out the variations...

[@cgallup1]

LOL I just Extrude my handles with a clay gun so they are more uniform and easy I use different dies for different mugs pitchers and pots. easy and a nice variety and the Extruder was not very expensive .

Vos vidéos sont super, malgré que je ne comprend pas votre langue,,, mais c’est bien joli comment faire une tasse quand on a pas de tour et pas les moyens d’en acheter….😉

[@maestasify]

Without pulling a handle, the molecules are not aligned, making for a handle with less integrity, i.e. it will break more easily than a pulled handle. Throwing the handles, as demonstrated, is a better way,.

[@tonygrowley5275]

Then I attached it.. then i attached it.. then i attached it. Why don't you show that part? Are you bad at it?
