handles...


some slipcast pots awaiting test handles, getting into the spirit of the thing with a denby mug. Not my inspiration, just my cuppa in for scale.

The tall middle pot will be cut up to make strap handles. In theory making the handles from the same material which is at the same consistency as the body will greatly increase chances of success....


First strap handles on. So far so good (with nifty saucer for coffee cup). Will make a batch of six of each size and then fire. I wont be able to judge whether its worked until the glaze firing which is where any warps or cracks are most likely to appear.
