Pulled handles pottery

Laura Crosland Ceramics on Instagram: "I thought I would try to capture the hand position that I use to pull and shape a handle. I put my hand in to the position shown in the video, I find it very useful to make the edges narrower. The thumb and forefinger pinch the edge of the handle. . . . . #pottery #studiopottery #ceramics #ceramicart #art #contemporaryceramics #wheelthrown #maker #madeincornwall #mug #wip #ceramicsuk #handlepulling #britishstudiopottery #claylife #workinprogress…

Chris Penny Ceramics on Instagram: "Pulling handles is about knowing when to stop, when to have wet hands and when to have dry hands, and how dry the cup needs to be. It’s all about practice. I think you can get pretty comfortable applying handles in about 3 years … sorry not years I mean weeks 😂… actually it doesn’t take as long as you think. If you keep the starting lump the same each time. And attach as many handles as you can to cups you are making … say 4 handles per cup, then recycle…

Mäe Ceramics on Instagram: "This is how I make all my handles for my cups. Years ago I used to pull them, until I kind of realized that the sharp energy to my pieces deserved a more squared handle, and I worked out this lovely efficient technique using a slab. . . . . . #pottery #ceramics #howtomakehandles #potteryvideo #instapottery #stoneware #potterywheel"

Bilyana Yankulova on Instagram: "How to make a pulled handle? There are many shapes of handles and ways to make handles. Here is a video how I make mine handles and stick it with the cylinder. Every pottery I make is one of kind for you. #pottery #ceramicart #ceramic #ceramicmug #oneofkind"

You will want to make handles for many pots such as mugs, pitchers, teapots, and so on. Here are several ways to make handles that are commonly used in pottery.

Bozeman Community Kiln on Instagram: "Part 9 of how to make mug handles! In this part, Ashleah teaches you how to make your mug handle more decorative than a standard pulled handle. What is your favorite kind of handle? We love making these stein style mugs! #handlepulling #handmademug #ceramics #pottery #stoneware"

Twisted Clay on Instagram: "Pulling handles from the pot is my favorite way to make handles. Before I learned to make handles this way, I did not tend to like them. Once I learned this method, I both liked the process more and I also felt the outcome was more to my liking. If you have never tried this, you should give it a try. #pottery #ceramics #handmade #clay #art #ceramic #ceramicart #stoneware #potterylove #instapottery #wheelthrown #handmadepottery #pottersofinstagram…

Chris Penny Ceramics on Instagram: "Part 3: fluted cups, I don’t score the bottom attachment point for the handles that I pull, I haven’t found it to be necessary, and it’s another area that would need to be cleaned up. Also the handle is quite wet at this stage. So it’s making it own slip. 😬 I do score the top. I then leave the cup’s upside down (to keep the attitude of the handles positive… happy handles make for happy cups). I put them in a damp box to slow down the drying, if they dry…

The Potters Shed • Pottery Classes in Adelaide on Instagram: "Put that pressure on the bottom of your pots when you are pulling! Thats how you make better use of that clay at the bottom. 🪴"

The prospect of pulling handles used to fill me with dread. My carefully turned pots ruined by sloppy, graceless protrusions that didn’t hold up as I’d usually over-pulled them. One day, when studying on the DCCI pottery course, we were issued with the daunting challenge of pulling a whole series of handles of different lengths and styles. The finished straps would need to be carefully laid out onto a ware board that was covered in drawn dimensions, targets we had to fill. Beyond length…

I taught advanced throwing and soda firing classes at Lillstreet Art Center in Chicago for the past 10 years. I'm not currently teaching, but I am giving myself assignments. It's something that I've always done to push myself to discover new forms, new surfaces and refine the old standards. Last m

Ruthie Schulz on Instagram: "My favorite way to make a handle is pulling it from the pot. This starts with pulling a “blank” which is a thick handle to attach to the put and then finish pulling. I have tried so many methods and this continues to be my favorite. It tends to look like the handle is growing out of the piece and I think that is perfect for my pots! #pottery #ceramics #handmade #clay #art #ceramic #ceramicart #stoneware #potterylove #instapottery #wheelthrown #handmadepottery…

Juliette’s Wheelhouse on Instagram: "Handling my mugs is not a quick process by any means. I’ve tried other faster techniques, but I keep coming back to what I know and what I’m comfortable with. After pulling a handle shape from the clay I let it set up until it can hold its shape. I use a template that I drew on craft foam so that my handles are all the same size. I especially like the little thumb stop on the top. It blends into the handle, doesn’t stick up too far and is comfortable to…

The Craft Pottery Studio on Instagram: "You asked for more handle tutorials, so here’s Brandon demonstrating his ‘Pulling from the Mug’ technique. @penapottery - We’d love to hear your thoughts!"

that handle?!

I think that handles are one of the main skills that separate the real potters from the wannabes, especially on mugs. Almost every time you see a great handle it was made by a potter who had what I would call professional training of several years at a university, college etc. And most of those have been pulled directly off the mug. I know there are many other types, and lots of those handles are great as well but everyone should have a handle that is pulled off the cup in their handle…
