Ann gives a great lesson on how to design better handles for mugs. She takes on 5 unique designs and provides 2 solutions for each mug. Ann reviews the key elements of handle design (Function, Comfort, and Aesthetics) and gives great tips on the important things to consider when designing a handle. This video is great for beginners and pros alike who may be looking to redesign their handles. Enjoy!
If you would like to learn Ann's underglaze painting, glazing, and decorating process then check out Ann's Video Workshop Series. These workshops are very detailed (typically 1.5 - 2 hours in length) where Ann provides step by step instruction and are designed to help potters take their work to new levels of craftsmanship and artistry. vimeo.com/showcase/6725318

I am finally starting a pottery class to relearn how to throw, after being away from it for 48 years. I am going to make mugs for Christmas for my children, their spouses and their kids. I may get really tired of making mugs by the time I am done, but will be quite a pro by then. Well hopefully. I am watching as many videos as I can before my class, and Ann seems to center and throw like I used to, going by memory. I have wanted a potter's wheel since I left high school.

@@LittleStreetPottery I have now made and put handles on 42 mugs and your video helped me so much in my process! I want to make four more to add to my other six "just in case" mugs. Watching this again, I see at least a few that I had forgotten about and will use. Now I am on to glazing beginning in the next day or so, and will be mixing some colors to try to get colors that are the favorites with each family member. I have been watching lots of videos. I just need to get started and am a bit nervous. Thank you for your encouragement Ann! That is middle name.

Wonderful presentation with really good explanations of why to choose a specific handle. Sitting at breakfast looking over to Karen's 4 empty coffee mugs with all different handle types, and the fifth being my TEA mug. A great video for anyone making mugs. Really neat getting to see the different mugs from members of Pottery Studio. Cheers...Freddie

Thanks for this informative video Ann. I enjoy making handles. The design of a handle is important. It can make a good mug great or vice versa. Your video exemplifies that point. Thanks again. 😊😊

Thanks Ann for the videos- always very helpful. I have issues with getting the handle and mug to be at the same place from a drying perspective. I think it h me at he my clay. I have to admit I hate pulling a handle-the diamond core tool extruder is an expensive but great tool to help. Any suggestions on drying and connecting the two? I find the mug body is dry since I need to trim it first.-maybe a damp box would help? Do you have a video for making a damp box? Thanks again

Hi Gina. you are right, it is very important that the handle and the mug body are at relatively similar stages in drying when you attach them. A damp box may help and we do have a video for making one. If you dont have the space for a damp box, I like to keep the plastic that my clay comes in to cover the mug body until I am ready to attach the handle. Good luck. Here is the link to the damp box video...kzfaq.info/get/bejne/atOEfJxivcvGnWw.html

Oh my gosh I need this soo badly!! I made 4 mugs the other day and it took me foreeeever to get the handles right! I see when you are pulling your handles you aren’t using water. Can you please show us how you do that? It takes forever to dry that handle when you use so much water when pulling.

I feel the same way. What you can do is shape the handle and leave it upside down in that shape as Ann shows and let it dry some before trying to put it on the mug. Don't let it get too firm or you won't be able to do any little reshapes without it cracking.

What dryness is the best time to add a handle with a score and slip?
@LittleStreetPottery
@LittleStreetPottery Жыл бұрын
Almost leather hard - the important thing is that both the handle and body are of the same wetness/dryness. Good luck!

You gave up the concepts to solve the comfort issues. I’d like to see you keep the concept and quirkiness of the designs while solving some problems. On the first mug how about strengthening the hanging loop design, and maybe adding a finger notch or button at the bottom for the other fingers? On the second one, why not keep the upside down curve concept? It’s interesting, it could be aligned with the foot, and perhaps an interior curve could be added to avoid pinching and keep the fingers from being pressed into the cup. The thick handle did give weight, why not lean into the weight, perhaps with some detailing, maybe a hollow handle, and maybe even add to the mug base to play up the heft, well, if it really was a deliberate thought. Your darted one really did follow the form much better, essentially you kept the concept of the darted mug, when the handle before seemed more like an afterthought. The bellied one, well again, it seems you are not into the jug aesthetic. Those handles are not particularly for drinking. They are for carrying or securing with a rope. They have a bootleg vibe. It’s a choice. The last one is nice, but I think a top to bottom strap is another storage handle that invites grabbing the body of the mug, with the handle curving around the hand. The bend in the last one didn’t allow for a graceful and pleasing curve around the entire hand, as it seemed to be intending. Your solution was nice and functional, but lost the concept of the top to bottom handle and the sheltered body hold.
