Different types of handles for Mugs

[@shirleycirio6897]

YAAAAAY! LOVE the way you hold your mug!! Mug handles=Human conformity. "If you it's too hot to touch with your hand, WHY would you put it in your mouth?????

Okay, at first I was rolling my eyes during those last few minutes about handles. I'm thinking, Oh come on, Donte. Everyone knows that a handle is just so you can get from the coffee/tea pot to the desk/table! Of course, you need a handle it's ....how..... wait... wait a minute. DOH!! I use the handle to get from the coffee pot to wherever I'm sitting, but after the coffee is cool enough to drink I kinda cuddle the mug BUT I put my thumb through the handle ...for .... FOR REASONS! I have no damn clue why. Thanks for the handle variations though, it's been a great help.

As a tea drinker, I need super hot water for a good steep. That means I need a handle to carry my mug to my desk (or wherever) until it cools down to just (barely) cool enough to drink. Beyond that, I like to cuddle my mug with one hand and the handle gives extra security against dropping it.

[@zweigackroyd7301]

Getting to adulthood and not understanding heat conductivity of liquids and their containers. Fascinating. Potter tip: if you make handles that don't weigh near as much as the mug, you might like them better!

[@amyfrueh4808]

Hey! As a mug cuddler I have to say... You are right. I just like cuddling it 🤷🏼‍♀️ my cat gets mad if I try to cuddle him all the time, but my mugs never complain lol

[@dizzylizzy7582]

You make beautiful mugs. One day. I'll keep practising.

[@cameronscragg4126]

Great video. I love the attention you pay to how people actually interact with items. I am definitely a high arch person, and I make my amateur mugs that way. I need to consider what others might want too!! I’m also surprised by how thick you’ve thrown, those are gonna be some sturdy mugs! It makes me think that I need to evaluate how and when I should be throwing thicker or thinner!

[@brierobb9879]

Another reason for handles... I have nerve damage in my hands, sometimes my hand (middle, index finger and thumb) just lets go, without me choosing to, the extra contact with multiple fingers helps me, to be aware of (via different nerve set in the pinky and ring fnger) the cup has shifted and I drop cups less often.

[@chrispya1]

I have the same problem. Peripheral neuropathy. I need a big handle for big mugs.

[@sorce2175]

you're a bottom cuddler! Love the talk about hot temps and duh.! nice.

[@lauragarberick6477]

I totally hold my mug like you. So funny because the whole time I was watching this, I was like "Oh, I hope he makes a thumble (thumb handle.)" And then you did! thanks for that.

[@MadameChaotica]

I have never understood why people make handleless mugs before now. I'm always walking around with my hot mug. Thanks for this, excessive saltiness aside. 😉

Donte, the salty potter with a gold tenmoku heart

[@gouletlise4110]

Just love your videos. I learned a lot..still practicing..but hey I'm getting there. Please continue to make me laugh!!

[@jillwazstudio]

Good info thanks!! Btw I hold my mug with my pointer finger and thumb around the top and loop my other fingers through the handle : )

[@IsaacSchultz]

I watched this to learn more about handles and I left with new knowledge about my behaviors... That makes me feel things. No more of that please. Being aware I'm a mug cuddler is likely to damage my manly self esteem, I'll send you the bill from my counseling sessions.

[@paulabrown6840]

🤣 your talented AND hysterical! 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@pinksombreroakapinky840]

My Dad holds a mug like you!!!

[@nancyangelopoulos-fanelli1505]

Dante, me too! I don’t like handles. Unfortunately everyone asks for them...

[@dutchorchidhouse]

My hands are usually too small to securely grip a normal sized mug. I would be dropping mugs left and right without handles, and that has nothing to do with the heat of the liquid inside

[@keeperofthegood]

Side on thumb rest, not front on. I usually end up leaving my spoon in my mug using the spoon's handle as a thumb rest because the mug's handles just don't do it.

[@stevenpaeper2268]

Please tell what glazes you use for those black and gold boys!?

[@katherineboyette3071]

That's a half-cuddle!

[@aslstudent7188]

can someone post the link to the "mug video" please?

[@chillydoog]

What is that little sponge thing you use to clean up the excess slip with?

[@chrispya1]

I prefer small mugs without handles and large mugs with. I'm all for letting hot stuff cool as I'm prone to burning the heck out of my mouth and my dental hygienist has forbidden me from doing so.

[@harley6793]

Handles make mug cuddling harder in my opinion

[@gsandau]

Ooooh you're clever, you devil.... I am a muggler, myself. Edit: I just went around and picked up a bunch of mugs I've made in the last year. I hold it differently depending on whatever handle my brain made me put on there at the time. I know there is a name for people like me, but it's not nice to say those things in front of the kids.

[@SuperDavidBrothers]

If you don't want to push your ball on your handle from one angle, then why not just wait until both your mug and your handle are fully dry just to attach your ball??

[@Chef_PC]

I’m triggered by this vitriol spewed against us mug cuddlers in this video.

[@melzornes7967]

What kind of clay is this?

[@EarthNationCeramics]

B mix

[@dercut2guy]

you remind me of kripparian, keep it salty and informative yo!

[@cameronyap]

That pun tho

[@brierobb9879]

... I had to rerun it to read every little word...

[@billmiller9145]

Muggles

[@doctorortner2531]

Hey great videos but such a loud music, distracts a lot. Can you put it real soft.... It helps to focus on your words. Sorry and thanks again

[@mattmurray778]

What in the garage throwing, is a "roundy" handle? Did you make a "handle it " joke.... On your own video?! Bruh...... No hollow handle?
