The Strangest Handles I've Ever Made

Описание: New mug shares require new handles, and this video is my first dive into creating pottery handles that are more angular in nature, as to match the mugs these will be attached too, eventually. These are my initial experiments. I learn a HUGE amount throughout this process and can't say I like all of the designs either... Which handle do you like??

*It's worth noting! That you won't get the same results as I do if you're firing in oxidation. The reduction firing really helps with this process.

*I throw using both a Rohde HMT 500 & 600 potter's wheel and fire using Rohde kilns too, the electric is a TE-200 and the gas kiln is a KG-340.
