Using a Clay Extruder

Video Transcript

"So, now we're ready to make the handle for our mug. So, we're going to put this chunk of clay right of the barrel of the extruder. And, then we'll lift up the plunger and set it right directly on top of that clay. And, you can hear I don't know if you can hear it from there but there's a little hissing. That's the air coming out of the extruder tube. And, then you just pull down on the plunger slowly. And, it extrudes you a nice even handle. It has a few grooves in it. Which, I think are really nice. And, then you cradle it like this so that you don't stretch it or damage it while you're taking it to your work area. And, then you can just set them up and let them sit so that they can get firm and ready to use. And, you just continue this process. You want to go ahead and empty out all the clay you have in your extruder. And, if it's more handle than you need you can just cover them and use them later."
