I love making handles! I recently used a handle blank maker sent to me by Artisan Pottery Tools- it completely surprised me how much I enjoy using it! You can use the blanks directly as made, or you can use them like I show by pulling the handle a bit more to create a more organic form..
This video is possible because I received the handle maker tool from Artisan Pottery Tools out of Manitoba. https://www.artisanpotterytools.com/ is the website to find the tools.

I am using Laguna B Mix cone 5-6 for these bottles, throwing on my Skutt classic wheel using my Giffin Grip Mini.

I made this video for my Ceramics II, III, and independent studyI students at Mason High School. I am a public high school ceramics teacher at William Mason High School in Mason, Ohio. (Mason is currently the largest high school in Ohio!) As a potter, I have been working in clay for over 37 years, and I have been teaching for over 34 years, over the past 27 have been specifically teaching high school ceramics.
I love what I do! I have my own studio in my home basement, where I work on my personal pottery for my Etsy site; https://www.etsy.com/shop/KaransPotsAndGlass
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!
