I WAS NOT THE FIRST TO MAKE THIS MUG DESIGN! A link to the Original Handwarmer Mugs: clayinmotion.com/catalog/categ...
This Pottery Tutorial is how to make a hand warming mug on the wheel. This ceramic project is a popular shape that I do not really like to make and I discuss why, but people love them and ask for them all the time. People make these in all different ways but here is my method of how to make them on the wheel!

"I bet you didn't even finish watching this video because you're so excited to try in on your own!" Had me WEAK. You earned my subscription 😂😂

Mine too😁

Customer: Hey can you do some handwarming mugs again ? Jon: Nah do it yourself I'll show you

[@Jane-xy5gd]

Jon: "centering the clay helps to center you" me: wow :') can't believe I'm about to drop out of my life to become a potter

[@meakia9]

Exactly the reason im starting

[@johnlamb2333]

Very interesting, I have never seen a hand warming mug before.

[@marynelson4477]

You’re right- people do love them and they are a pain to make! As a lefty, I always make left handed pieces too. 👍🏻

[@raleishaguallaz4988]

Im a lefty tooo

[@Labradorite_Honu]

Mom is ambi, granddad was ambi, I'm ambi, spouse is lefty..... Daughter is ambi. Love love love finding left-handed every day items. There used to be a place on Pier 39 in San Francisco called the "Left Handed Store", not sure if it's still there or changed hands? (Hehe forgive the pun)

[@f0xh0nd51]

Same, same.

[@lizx7419]

Came for the cute dude but now I’m dropping out of my life to become a potter

[@raleishaguallaz4988]

Lol right

I was thinking the same thing lol

[@TheCornDavis]

This comment made me giggle

[@emilyb1311]

I’ve watched so many of your ASMR videos, too nervous to watch a normal one out of fear that you’d be a “too good for everyone” type of potter personality with that talent... this was the first time I heard you speak and I’m so glad you’re so chill and sweet and hilarious!!! Subscribed immediately, thank you for this awesome content you’ve re-sparked my love for ceramics 😭

[@abbeyproffitt9080]

I joined my first pottery class because of you! I start Thursday!

[@sheetalkhandal7551]

I would love to try this but there is a small issue that I don't know pottery making art.....but I love watching these videos....they are kind of relaxing

[@francesrubis5220]

Don't let fear or doubt or self- doubt hold you back! Pretend you are in your eighties and you still want to play in the clay what do you have to loose except excuses? Go for it and jump into that clay it is addictive, relaxing, like water for the soul! I promise the fun is in the making and everyone can make a piece of clay turn into personal expression so stop holding back and dive in feet first. Have fun too.

[@mandyowen4892]

Your glazes are just stunning. I can’t say how many times I’ve watched your videos especially this one. I gotta make myself a hand warming mug.

[@mariasalcedo5652]

Am a crochet grandmom i to crochet and watch you I love art you are great blessing

[@SkyMist227]

HOW DOES THIS MAN NOT HAVE MORE SUBS?! please keep doing this sir!! your silly energy is infectious and after watching this video i am actually reconsidering art and design as a possible career path...possibly..... n_n''

[@Jonthepotter]

Haha that's awesome!! I just started the channel in February 2018 with no video experience so I am learning lot's every day!! Welcome to the channel!

[@benpatterson4452]

Your's is the only video, I've ever seen, for how to make these. I've seen the form, and even had students ask how they could make them, but all I had was how I'd do it. So thanks for posting.

[@ataliemitchell3606]

Yay!!! You posted it! So I was impatient and made some in an hourglass shape and did them pretty much the same way and took them to my final bazaar two days ago and they all sold! People do love love love them so I made more last night but more like your shape but I just did a strait angled slit and it works too! But I like the crescent shape cut. I’m gonna go back and make more! I totally agree though they are not as fun to make as other things! Thanks dude! I’ve been waiting for this!!!

[@casf.2710]

I'll wait for you to put them on Etsy!

[@karensizelove-murphy7463]

You Rock! John the Potter!! You are MAGNIFICENT!

[@sharoncastellanos2408]

It was around 2 years ago when I fell in love with pottery/all things pottery. And I love how you're not only good at it, but it shows that you love it and get people hyped about it. You've gained a subscriber!

[@ww-ti6js]

Can't wait to try this!

[@baddecisions951]

Videos are so calming to watch

[@Handmadebygas]

yes! yes! yes!!!!!!! thank you - can't wait to try....... thank you - and incase no one has told you in a while! your the bomb dot com!!!!

[@justgayvibez8217]

I see this is kinda old but have you thought of making it a double handed hand warming mug like the mug it's self would probably need to be larger but would that seem like a good idea for the cold season they would probably sell like theirs no tomorrow hell I'd probably buy a few

[@____Ann____]

I think it would be difficult to get your hands out without spilling coffee.

[@leneaharless4313]

@@____Ann____ Nah, you just take one out at a time.

[@kimkaye2219]

Gorgeous! And the cups are beautiful too.

[@buttonsandpants7377]

I have two hand warmer mugs and literally yesterday I was staring at one of them and analyzing it because I couldn't figure out how it was made! I started looking at how to glaze pottery and sure enough this video comes up! I didnt read the title, it just popped up! KZbin is in my brain! Thank you for making this video! It stinks that these are a pain but these mugs really are the best!

[@kimmihawks1602]

Love the energy and fun spirit!!

[@andreag7822]

Thank you for this Jon. Been waiting! And ANOTHER new studio teaser 👍🇬🇧

[@midkiffsjoy]

The baby is trying to dance and nurse WHILE we watch. Lol. Very entertaining.

[@katwoman2371]

Love a KZbin channel that entertains as well as educates 🌟

[@catfeatherss]

I want one. I realllllly want one. Beautiful!

[@amarisnava8040]

I LOVE this!!! These mugs look so cool and I’m absolutely going to try this as soon as I can! Thank you for making this video!!💕

[@christinetheriault9565]

Jon, you are hilarious!! I love you 🥰 Honestly you are inspiring and you make my day every time you put a new video. Thank you for sharing your passion with us. You taught me a lot, and I can wait for the news classes to start after Christmas time to make that hand warmer. I have been doing throwing clay for a year now and completely in LOVE with it ❤️ Look forward for your next video 😎😘

[@peggy8548]

Yes Yes Yes can't wait to start!!!!!! ❤Thank You

[@sheepsrubberpants]

Great video and can’t wait to see how the new studio is progressing. You could do a video of the studio being moved etc! Now that would be exciting.

[@Chef_PC]

Now I absolutely have to change my life, give up my career and take up pottery just to make these mugs, because holy crap, I need this in my life.

[@Chef_PC]

And after watching the Part 2 video, I have also just purchased a few from you. Still completely changing my life for pottery though...

[@rhondavalverde2405]

Newbie that made her first mug today! But I’m definitely going to try this. Love it, thanks for this and all your videos.

[@pinkywittingslow4055]

Hahaha I love how honest you are about these 🤣 Yeah, I'll give making this design a miss too.

[@dianeyennie2337]

I am so happy to see this video. I searched a few months ago, but no one had instructions out there. They do look time consuming, but worth trying them out...but will have to be after the holidays! I might try both ways..alit in the mug and like your other viewer suggested, a flap on the outside of the dent. Can’t wait to try it.

[@jessiroobear2906]

I'm totally going to try a variation of this! Thank you so much

[@CliftheClayVan]

I have to tell you. My friend sent me your video and all I saw was handwarmer mugs and my only response was no. No no no. I will never make those. He was like. No watch the video because it’s good and funny ;) hahaha. The video is very good and I thank you for the warning. Which confirms that I will never make handwarmer mugs hahahaha.

[@Jonthepotter]

haha LOL! Yeah don't do it!

[@CliftheClayVan]

He asked me today. Won’t you do one? I said no haha.

[@Chocolate19]

Looks amazing...love the idea of wrapping your hand around the mug on a cold day❄...you've made it look easy🤨🤨🤨.

Can’t wait to get my wheel next week! Fab video 😁

[@chrisrogers1327]

Lol!! I laughed out loud and nearly spewed my coffee all over the place, when you said, "are you gonna tell your friends who are potters?" Truth told, I had just shared this with 2 of my pottery friends right before you mentioned earlier, possibly stopping the video to go make some yourself. Lol! You caught me. Lol!

[@Jonthepotter]

Haha lol, thanks for watching!

really clever idea... i love it

[@courtneytesvich1333]

This is so hilarious! I have less than no desire to make these mugs, but I get requests for them all the time! I am a small country potter who only sells at my local farmers market, and I bet I've had seven people ask me for these damn mugs.

[@denisenoble4010]

Best idea, rarely use a handle so this would be perfect x

its called hygge and it is the most raw feeling of being cozy. its a vary emotion driven word like happy sad hygge

Ow I love this... newbie, but very eager to try this (will with for the next one to see the difference). Keep up the good work, Jon!

[@sharonbryant2547]

I’ve been waiting for this video. Yeah! I think I will try the method of pushing in the mug and adding to the outside. Maybe do the alteration while it’s still on the wheel in order to keep the round shape at the top and then add the patch on the outside after it has set up a little. Worth a try. Read all the comments and replies. I always get such a shot of joy when I watch your videos. So inspiring! It’s raining and cold here. No snow so I’ll just go play in the mud now! Merry Christmas from Mudcreek Clayworks in Texas.
