A Detailed Guide to Making Pulled Clay Pottery Handles

    I am a 29 year old young man living in Korea. I'd like to call you teacher. Recently, I have become interested in pottery, so I am learning from a local teacher. Everything else is being studied online, and your feedback on videos and Instagram seems to help me and water the flower of my dream. I hope these guides will continue and I will continue to watch and like them. I just wanted to say thank you. Thank you. I think there will be some awkward sentences because I use a translator. I will also study English hard. Thank you.

    I’ve heard that pulling the clay for the handles aligns the clay particles to make it stronger, which is always useful when making something breakable.

    Simon Leach has a wonderful video on pulling handles too. I vastly prefer hand pulled handles. I like to see the signs that it’s hand-made object. I also have a jig that I made to get the curve just right and it accounts for shrinkage too. I’d recommend making one if you’re having trouble getting your handles just right.

    Besides the look, the pulling process aligns the clay particles, making the handle stronger.

    Hello Florian, thank you for the videos, pretty sure I watched everything, some multiple times. When I tried pulling so wet right on the cup, they always sag drastically after attaching them. I was wondering if you had any tips, perhaps the clay you use has more grog and body.

    Absolutely beautiful video, Florian... I have failed with this technique so many times and this video is really clear in showing how to do it... I am heading to handle my mugs now! (Edit) How exactly did you make your touchmark/makers mark? Was it sculpted or carved? Or is it something else :D

    Thank you Martin, it's a tricky technique and it really took me some real trial and error until I started to get handles that I really liked. It's like throwing I guess, or anything for that matter, just takes some persistence, but it's worth it for the natural, flowing handles that can be made. Good luck with them!

    Excuse me Florian, regarding your Spinner gifted to you from Richard Carter. Have you considered or do you think it would be possible to create an 'offest' spinner that still spun concentrically with in a range of say 5mm? What I am suggesting is even if you didn't put it in the precise centre, it would still be centred and not require centring. I feel like such an object could save valuable seconds that would really add up when making large batches of repeated shapes. Just a thought and would love to know what you or your community thought.
