Handles






Don't get me started on handles,a topic close to my heart [and hand]. I think that the first couple of years of my acquaintance with Sydney we mainly discussed handles. Sydney expressed an interest in another salt firing before he flits off to Canada in June,so I threw some mugs and vases yesterday from a mixture of French and Spanish stonewares and Coleman porcelain,and decided to make some non-pulled handles for them to pick up salt effects.Here's the procedure:
Start with an aptly-named slug of soft clay,roll on suitable textured surface,peel off gingerly and roll up like a roll-up,rolling the ends round.
