Pottery Top Tip: Applying Heart Shaped Handles to your Pottery Pieces - Full Tutorial
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 20 июн 2021
- In this video I show you how to apply heart shaped handles to your own pottery creations. There are previous videos on my channel which show you how to make the coloured slip which I have highlighted on screen during the video for you to catch up on. I run through the whole process of cutting the rim with a heart shaped cutter and then fashioning the handles to create the remainder of the heart shape. An easy process that any potter from beginner to more experienced could create. I feel this just makes the piece that little bit special and makes it stand out from the crowd.
There is a surprise on this little bowl - a vinyl sticker used as a stencil underneath the coloured slip which is revealed at the end - so stay tuned to see the final piece!
I shall have my studio open as part of The Chichester Art Trail on 10/11 and 17/18 July 2021 (see www.chichesterarttrail.org - venue 110) and the Southern Ceramic Group Exhibition at The Bishop’s Kitchen at Chichester Cathedral at the end of July 2021 (www.southernceramicgroup.org.uk).
Be great to see you at either if you’re local.
My work is available to purchase via my Etsy shop (link below) if you’d be kind enough to take a look.
Hi I’m Sarah Amos. I gave up my day job and am now living the dream as a full-time potter and teacher, running courses from my studio, The Pottery Corner, in a little village just outside Chichester on the South Coast of England. With Cissy and Charlie, my studio companions, we welcome students of all abilities from complete beginners to the more experienced, teaching throwing on the potters wheel as well as handbuilding techniques.
I love to share my clay experience and knowledge by passing on pottery techniques in my Pottery Top Tip videos; which include full tutorials on items to try out yourselves. I also sell my work via my Website and Etsy Shop. So grab a cuppa, sit back, relax and let’s dive into what’s going on in The Pottery Corner today.

Thanks Patrick for your kind words. Glad you've found it useful. 😀
You do such a great job . Your instruction is very clear and succinct without getting over chatty.. Thank you for making these videos I for one find them truly fun and informative. Cheers from British Columbia
Another good demo Sarah.
After first cut I could imagine someone putting two wee dots for eyes of a winged bat.
Always good to hear the scrubbies getting the praise they deserve.
Nice handled shallow bowl.
Cheers...Freddie
Thanks Freddie. So good to hear from you again. Hope all is well with you. Thanks for your kind words 🙏

Thanks Sarah for the mention as always. I promise to create some sheets we can get into envelopes and ship worldwide. If anyone has any ideas for designs, then please let me know. I am thinking leaves of different types, trees, fish, hearts . . . .I can't wait to see that piece finished! Brilliant idea for the handles, karenx
Great! People are asking. Getting some fantastic results from this process. 😁
I would like to know when they are in your shop. Leaves are always popular, ferns, flowers, cats?
Can’t wait for the vinyl sheets 😍😍, I would think they could be everything, objects, cups, spoons, letters, words, I think everything will be popular:)) I subscribed to your channel ❤️❤️
So nice!!! . Thanks for sharing. We've been having 112 degree weather, so a little to sunny to enjoy. Glad your wether is better.

Keep watching Natalie- information on how to do just that coming very soon! 😁
What an excellent idea for handles, they look really cute. Great video 👍
Thanks for watching Karen. Much appreciated 🙏
That was amazing to watch! Thank you for sharing! The idea of the “scrubby” is genius, I always have a hard time with the finishing touch on a piece. And the vinyl leaves are great, waiting for the news about them 😍😍
Hi Gabriella - thanks for watching. Keep watching for an update on the vinyl stencils - Karen and I are working on it I promise 😀

Thanks for watching 😊
Hey Sarah?it might be nice if you filmed the clay class, once in a while. Maybe the students would like it too? Our clay class starts in september again, so it's still a while before we can handle some clay.? I like the handles by the way.
Hi Ria. Thanks for watching. That's a great idea! I'll have a think about that. Glad you're getting back to classes in September - not long to wait now. 😁
I’m in upstate New York, where it’s been really hot & humid, and now we have some refreshing thunderstorms.
Those vinyl leaves are beautiful & delicate!
Glandderwen is Welsh for “Oakside” or “Oakshore”. It loses in translation!
Thanks so much for watching and commenting. Great to have you along 😀
Loved this video. The handles add such a lovely touch...and the vinyl leaf stickers really do make this dish very special. If the stickers become available would the be able to be shipped to the US?
Hi Pat. I'm trying to get Karen to sort some stickers onto her Etsy shop and, yes, I'm sure she would ship to the States. Watch this space! Thanks for watching 😁
Isn't it easier to apply slip after handle attachment? I would have smoothened the handle out on the front too, great idea and will give it a bash!
Thanks for watching.
I love your necklace. Did you make it?
Hi Diane - thanks for watching. I think this necklace came from somewhere exotic and was a gift from my mum. 😊
Hi quick question, does the pigment have to be hire fire in the slip? Admittedly I don't have access to a kiln so plan to take my first lot of makes in earthenware to bisque level for practice before travelling to one I can use (40mins) away and do not have the outdoor space for a garden one.
Hiya and thanks for watching. If firing to stoneware temperature on stoneware clay then the pigments need to be high fire. If they are low fire pigments in a high fire kiln the colours will burn out. Hope that helps 😊
Forgot to ask if that green scrubby is wet or dry?
Hi Gigi- the scrubby is always dry - the more lacey the better!😄
