Ceramics: Start to finish week 3 (mugs & handles)

For your 2-hour practice this week, pull 8 handles for practice, then add handles to 2 mugs from last week. If you don't have mugs yet, please throw 8 mugs and keep 2.
If you like, you can try pulling your handles directly from the pot (the way Simon Leach does it), or you can pull them separately and attach them later the way I demonstrated in class.

Next week, we'll review handles and also take a look at our 3rd shape, bud vases.
Cheers!
