@nirmass: Adding a handle by reshaping the wall of the piece. I leave the piece attached to the bat and only wire it off after I’m done reshaping the wall. Make sure to do this before the clay reaches the leather-hard stage - when it’s still soft, but no longer sticky. This allows the two sides to bond together nicely. I prefer to completely close the handle as I squish and pinch the wall together, giving it a solid, flattened shape rather than a hollow, tube-like one. This keeps liquid from getting inside and makes it much easier to clean. I also recommend adding a thin coil to the inside of the connection to make the inside look smoother. #pottery #ceramics
