Handle Pulling Workshop

This is a session completely dedicated to the craft of making pulled handles! In this 2 hour workshop, we will demonstrate the techniques of making blanks, attaching, pulling, and shaping handles. This workshop is great for beginners who have at least 4 weeks of experience or more experienced potters who want to deepen their handle-making journey. By the end of the workshop, expect to have a more practiced hand at handles!

Handles are often the most important factor in what makes a cup a delight to hold. If done just right, the look and feel of a handle can make the perfect mug!

During the workshop, participants will be given a detailed demonstration, followed by a facilitation time with support. Participants will practice pulling on ready-made slabs and one pre-made cup they may keep! Participants who are studio members are encouraged to bring a leather-hard cup of their own to work with as well!
