Making a Pitcher with a Pulled Handle on the Potters Wheel

 

Coronavirus Quarantine Video 2 March 17I will be trying to post simple daily videos for inspiration for my students and my subscribers to help give us some learning and distraction during this national emergency In this video I show how I throw a wheel thrown pitcher with a pulled handle I am using about 3 3 5 lbs of stoneware to throw the pitcher Once I center the base of the hockey puck I open the form keeping a flat bottom and square corner inside When pulling up on the walls I concentrate on keeping the form slightly tapered inward so the top does not get large Once thinned I shaped the cylinder into a form which I like for pitchers I keep the rim a little thicker at this point Then I mark where I want the thinned spout and I lightly pinch the rim thinning it between my index finger and thumb Once thinned I make sure it is symmetrical then I form the throat of it by pushing in to create the channel through which the liquid will run Once that is formed I set it aside to get leatherhard I make the handle from a flattened coil which is tapered like a carrot This is then attached by scoring and slipping I then allow that to stiffen some About 15 minutes Once that is stiffened some then I use my thumb and index finger and water to thin and pull the handle stretching it while thinning it Gentle pressure and delicate handling is a must for this It takes practice Don t give up You could also make a handle off the pot and attach of course Dry your pieces SLOWLY by placing in a damp cabinet for a bit bag hatted or perhaps covered with a heavy towel Check out this link to a live Googledoc I continually update with lots of my favorite tools on Amazon using my associate links also some non amazon suggestions on here I started my Youtube 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
