Making and Attaching a "Fake" Pulled Handle for the Ceramics II Pinch Cups

- This video is a newly remade version of my old pinch cup handle video. In this video, I show how to make a handle using a “fake pulled” method. I learned this many years ago from the excellent potter, Sandi Pierantozzi- and she called it the “carrot slam” method. Which, is a great description. We start by making carrot shaped coils, which are tapered. Twist the coils periodically to keep them round. When finished rolling, we slam it down onto the table surface to flatten the back. Then, we shape using a sponge and water, and lifting the fat end at the same time to lengthen and stretch it. Once it is evened and thinned, we arch it on a plastic surface (we use a tray in class- but plastic bats are great too) then cover them with the cup for a night. When they become closer to leatherhard, then we will attach. Deciding on appropriate length and depth for the handles are critical in a good handle to cup proportion. Consider a handle which will be deep enough or far enough out from the side of the pot to accommodate the fingers easily without too much extra space. Keep the handle under the height of the rim, and cut the ends at angles to match to the sides of the pot. Slip, score, blend, and clean with a brush. Also, I show an optional addition of a coil on the top edge of each connection. I also show how to add a thumb and pinky rest, which not only can be pleasingly decorative, but quite functional in adding stability.
We are using Standard 153 stoneware in our class for this project. The only reason we are using stoneware is because I like the glazes we have in the classroom better for this project.
The previous videos in this series shows how students begin the pinch cup while plastic, and the second one show the extensive cleaning which we use for the leatherhard stage.

I made this video for my Ceramics II students at Mason High School. This is the first exercise (non-graded) that the kids do in clay for their Ceramics II class. They are building on skills they developed in level I, with the added complexity of added height, footring, and handle.
I am a public high school ceramics teacher at William Mason High School in Mason, Ohio. (Mason is currently the largest high school in Ohio!) As a potter, I have been working in clay for over 30 years, and I have been teaching for over 28 years, the past 20 have been specifically teaching high school ceramics. I love what I do! I have my own studio in my home basement, where I work on my personal pottery for my Etsy site; www.etsy.com/s...
I started my RUclips channel a few years ago, to make videos to help my students if they are absent and miss a demo, or if they would like to explore more advanced techniques independently. I have been amazed to reach such a wider audience than my own students!
Please subscribe to my channel if you would like to receive channel updates, or would like to learn more about clay and studio processes!

This is a game changer!!!! I have struggled to make handles to the point of almost dreading it. Never consistent. Used this technique last night and it took me about 45min from the time I wedged clay to having 4 identical handles made and attached to 4mugs. I no longer dread handles!
This makes me so happy!!!
Thank you so much for the tips! YOU ROCK!
Thanks so much for this easy to understand video! This answered several of my questions concerning handles!
I hate placing handle on a mug. Thank you for posting this.
Thank you so much for sharing your techniques! They are so precious for beginners like me!
I'm so glad you find them helpful! :)
I never heard of the twisting method but I will definitely try it since I am terrible at coil rolling.
Ohh twist and roll!! Gonna try this! Thank you Karan!!
Big ahaa moments! Thanks so much
Awesome!! 🥰
Thanks! I've done this type of handle before, but two of your tips should help a lot : the twist and roll and the lifting of the big end while sponging.
This makes for a beautiful handle!!! I saw the thumbnail and thought it would be really hard but it’s soo easy!! Thank you so much.
You’re such a great teacher 💜
Love your videos! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you! Much appreciated ❤️😊
Incrível seus vídeos, aprendi muito, Parabéns pelo lindo Trabalho 👏👏👏👏🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

Good teaching,thanks
THANKS FOR SHARING!
Estoy muy muy contenta de haber encontrado tu canal! Gracias por compartir tu sabiduría y tus secretos, soy aprendiz de cerámica y tus videos me ayudan increíblemente!! Muchas muchas gracias! Saludos desde Córdoba, Argentina. 🇦🇷
Love it!! Thank you for the kind comment!!! :)
Thank you, Karan!! Beautimous!
감사합니다!^^
Love that handle!
Thank you! I am trying these and really appreciate your teaching. Mrs Valentine sounds lovely, can we meet her on RUclips for a skit on renamed tools?
Oh my GOSH- that is hilarious!!! I will tell her this!!!! :)
How long does the cup and handle have to set before adding handle?
I usually wait until they are both
the same moisture- a soft leatherhard. The amount of time depends on how you store it to become the same. If the cup is leatherhard, and the handle plastic, I tell my kids to store them together on plastic (not wood) and to cover with a bag overnight. They also store them in a damp cabinet. You’ll have to experiment with your environment to see what will work best for you!
@@KaransPotsAndGlass thank you for getting back to me. I love all of your work. God bless and stay well.
I can't seem to get sound. Nice video
Barbara Gilson - not too sure what the issue is- but it plays fine on RUclips for me?! :)
KaransPotsAndGlass I have watched video again today, it must have been something with my iPad. Thank you. Always enjoy learning from your videos.
So glad it worked!!! Thanks for letting me know!! :)
