Attaching a Pulled Handle to a Clay Mug

Video Transcript

"So just like when we put on the extruded handle, right before you handle, is a great time to clean the bottom of your mug, make sure it's nice and smooth and to either write your name in or make your mark, with a stamp, which is what I choose to do. Once you've done that, you're going to take your scoring tool and you're going to score, where the top of the handle is going to go. Get it nice and goopy. Give a little score, to where the bottom is going to go, then you want to score the lug, itself. Now, you're going to take this and you're going to, with this pointed downwards, press that into the clay, so that the handle is pointing up, it is very important. Then you want to just smooth, push and smooth, the edges of this, into the mug. It's better to do this now, than after you've pulled the handle. Ok, so we've got it prepared and the next thing we'll do is, we'll actually pull it."
