This mug is shaping up to be a sturdy one. I’ve been thickening my handles lately so they sit more comfortably in the hand. I realized the mugs I reach for most, made by others, tend to have a certain softness and girth to the handle, so that’s the direction I’m following.

It’s all small adjustments over time, the kind that add up over decades. The goal is a pot that feels special to its owner, but not so delicately precious that it ends up sitting untouched on a shelf. #pottery #beautility

@potterybyosa looks beautiful, I love the texture. I have the hardest time with pulling a good handle...
@camless It takes lots of repetition, however there are so many ways to make a handle besides pulling. Maybe pulling is not for you. There are infinite ways to work with clay.
