Juliette’s Wheelhouse on Instagram: "Handling my mugs is not a quick process by any means. I’ve tried other faster techniques, but I keep coming back to what I know and what I’m comfortable with. After pulling a handle shape from the clay I let it set up until it can hold its shape. I use a template that I drew on craft foam so that my handles are all the same size. I especially like the little thumb stop on the top. It blends into the handle, doesn’t stick up too far and is comfortable to hold.   Do you like handles with or without some kind of thumb stop or stabilizer at the top?

Laura Crosland Ceramics on Instagram: "I thought I would try to capture the hand position that I use to pull and shape a handle. I put my hand in to the position shown in the video, I find it very useful to make the edges narrower. The thumb and forefinger pinch the edge of the handle.  . . . .  #pottery #studiopottery #ceramics #ceramicart #art #contemporaryceramics #wheelthrown #maker #madeincornwall #mug  #wip #ceramicsuk #handlepulling  #britishstudiopottery #claylife #workinprogress #makershands  #gaolyardstudios #stonewareclay #ihavethisthingwithpottery #instapotter #pottersofinstagram #instapottery" Pottery Pulling Up, Pottery Wheel Spoon Rest, Pulled Handles Pottery, Pottery Handles How To, Pottery Handles Ideas, Lera Inspiration, Pottery Handles, Mug Handles Pottery, Pottery Pitcher

D Whigham Ceramics on Instagram: "Just a little trick for ya if you make thumb cups!  Putting a wine glass (or something round) in the rim when you make your thumb impression keeps the rim from warping.  Also, I find it easiest to do this when the clay is still quite soft but no longer sticky to the touch.  . . . #dwhighamceramics #thumbcups #wheelthrownceramics #ceramiccup #stoneware #thrownware #handmadedrinkware #potterstricks" Pottery Wine Cups, Cups And Plates, Wheel Thrown Ceramics, Clay Cup, Thumb Prints, Printed Cups, Wine Cups, Pottery Mugs, Pottery Ideas

Momnt Mugs on Instagram: "Many people love mugs with thumb rests. Sometimes they're added purely for aesthetic reasons, but often they help you have a better grip.

The physics behind it is similar to counterbalance style handles like ours if you think about it since both are good ways to counter the weight of the mug and coffee.

It's a simple tweak on mug handles that can make something you use every day a little bit better.
