I can't tell you how hard it was making this video without including the more obvious innuendoes that come up whenever I post this process online. I once had to teach handle pulling for a hen party... that's all I'll say about that. Have you guys tried pulling handles? Were you successful? I hope this video helps! Please do let me know if it helped!

I have no idea how you got a hen-dle on that situation. ... See what I did there?

Pretty sure a clip from said hen party just showed up on my twitter feed. Came over to make sure it was the same Florian I’ve been watching on KZbin 🤙

Your script and prep-work for this video must have been so elaborate for especially this process and your care and attention to detail came through all the way.

I have just tackled my 15 handles after watching this video several times over the last few days, and putting it off a little while. Thank you so much for the incredible content and helpful tips. I also really appreciate you saying that getting it wrong is part of the process 👍🙂

very elegant handles. I tried this for the first time this week. worked pretty well but I need to use a larger lump of clay to pull from.

Super helpful - thank you for the reminders and cues for when a pot is ready for a handle and what to consider at the pulling and attaching stages. The latter is my biggest challenge. I'm a bit sick of wrapping bits of clay around the attachment points. Hoping now to be able get a solid join with out that crutch.

Wow. This is the best handle making video I've seen. I've been fumbling my way through trial and error since the lesson in my pottery class. Can't wait to get back at it with some strategies. Thank you for such a detailed video! One question- when you attach the base I noticed you don't score it first, just smoosh it on. Clearly for you this doesn't leave any cracks but I'm wondering why as the 2 clays are of a different hardness level. Sure would save a step in the process though. 🙂

Thank you for your tutorial video as always. I've learned so much from your videos since I started the pottery two years ago. Recently I tried to pull the handles from the vessels (mostly mugs) and practicing. A quick question. I assume depending the vessels you are attaching the handles, for smaller one like espresso cups I'd like to have more delicate handle, I should probably need to make thinner and smaller pieces to pull from and for larger vessels like pitchers, should I make a thicker and longer pieces to pull the handle? I watched your handle videos but never seen the different size of pieces. I'd appreciate it if you could advise.

I started my pottery journey this year. I am from India. I took up a loan to do proper training and it's a huge amount. Every day, I work hard but I worry about what I will do in the future. The path is so vague and I am unable to imagine as well because this is a very new field.

I use my fingernail to cut a ring of clay off that i make with my opening process, and then i mold that on the wheel a little and use it as the handle for my mugs. I have gotten some really nice ones by sticking it to the mug first because i watched your videos too, but most of mine were slab rolled until i found the method i made (maybe?)

@lasrubieraspottery 4 ай бұрын

I have been trying to pull handles the way you do ever since I saw your first handles tutorial, thank you for making another one! I have two follow up questions. (1) I've seen people who attach their handles from the top of the rim all the way to the bottom, but yours attach at around 80% of the height of the mug. Can you speak to why you chose attaching the blank a bit below the rim? (2) even tho I try to loop the handle straight down, mine always lean to one side. What am I doing wrong?

@floriangadsby 4 ай бұрын

Thank you so much! Glad you found it helpful. So, I don’t like it when the handles interferes with the rim, so I attach it slightly below, that’s the only reason really, an aesthetic choice. As for the leaning handle… well, I think you might not be ‘looking’ at it enough as you pull. I’m constantly changing the angle I view the mug at to make sure it’s flowing off the form at the right angle. Once it’s pulled long enough, I do the same again, purposely stopping to look, to make sure it’s not wonky or flowing the wrong way. Then, once looped down and attached, I do the same thing again, checking and double checking the handles shape to make sure I’ve attached it straight. You can always slice it off at the bottom once joined, reposition it, and then smudge the clay back in, (if you have enough material), but it’s also something that will improve with practice. My handles were definitely a bit wonky and leaned when I was starting, but after pulling a few hundred it quickly got better! Good luck!

@lasrubieraspottery 4 ай бұрын

@@floriangadsby thank you for much for your reply. You're right, they are getting better compared to the first set of handles. The thing with the leaning-to-the right issue is that I think I did it right, but the next day it's obvious the are not attached straight down vertically. Maybe I shouldn't be doing this at 2 am after a day's work! Thanks again!

@PhoenixDown777 4 ай бұрын

How do you add enough downward pressure without tearing off the joint at the top of the blank? I've tried this technique so many times but it's tough!

@conniel7873 4 ай бұрын

Likely a very beginner question: If you’re putting wax on, how do you then insure it won’t interfere with glazing later?

@jaquesgrisang4276 4 ай бұрын

He fires the pieces twice. In the first one (I believe in English they call it Bisque Fire, or low temperature fire) the wax will just burn off. Only After that first firing the piece is glazed, so there will be no more wax by then. The process is usually: Molding/throwing the piece, let it dry, first fire (something about 800°C/1450°F), glazing, second fire (1200°C/2100°F). Hope it helped.
