Now again just like I pulled the other handle I'm going to start the same way except I'm
just holding a mug in my hand instead of a big *** of clay. As I do that to make sure
that it's adhering sometimes I'll push up just like that and then push down. The same
things happening like it happened with the other handle, I'm getting a lump down there
so you just clip it off, right in here I'm going to make this curve a little bit so that
my hand, when this is all finished is able to fit in there nicely. That's looking a little bit big for my mug
so I'm going to eye it and then I'm going to clip off a bunch of it and that's looking
better. I just want to make sure that I have the curve right so that you can actually really
fit your hand in there. Some mugs fit two fingers in them, in the handle, some are three
and some can fit four in them, you can decide what you like best by making many different
kinds and then firing them and finding out what fits best and what you customers like
best. Just putting my thumb print in there just for comfort and decoration. Bring it
like that and I'm going to take this slip, make a little mark down here, get that there
and wipe my hands off just a little bit and thumb mark right in there and that's adhering
the bottom part to the mug and swipe it like that and swipe it like that and really try
not to touch that to much. Then clean this all up in here if you don't clean it all up
in here that's a sharp edge and it doesn't feel very good. I could raise this up just
a little bit more
and there you have it a mug.
