Attaching a Clay Bowl Handle

Video Transcript

"So now that you've got your handle and your bowl prepared, you're just going to take your handle. Again, make sure that you line it up really well so that the center lines up with the center of your spout. Hold it up against the pot and take that wooden knife again, push it in. Now if you're not using this handle, if you're using one of the other handles, you can do that pressure with just your fingers. It just happens to be with this particular handle that the wooden knife works really well. And then you want to take it and push these side pieces on. Make sure you give a decent amount of pressure so that they'll be connected well. And if were either of these other two styles of handles, like I said you just do it with your hand. But with any of them, once you've got the handle on there, you can just take your wooden tool and clean around the edge. Any scoring that didn't get covered up you can smooth it right down. Just make sure you don't have anything sort of sticking out. And then you're going to take your sponge, smooth over the connection, smooth over the handle itself and your batter bowl is ready to sit up to dry."
