I just started watching TH-cam videos on pottery hand building in the last week after doing hand building for several years and I seem to keep coming back to your videos for you vast amount of information that I definitely need. I also love listening to your pleasant voice and beautiful accent!! I am watching from New Mexico USA, I’m a Texan of 57 years before I moved here 6 1/2 years ago and fell in love with pottery!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!!
Hi Melanie and thanks for joining us. There are lots of videos on handbuilding on my channel for you to enjoy. I'm so pleased you are finding them useful . Greetings from England to you across the pond. 😁
Hi nice lady, I am enjoying your very instructive videos on YoutTube from the Netherlands, Amsterdam to be more precise. I have started pottering only recently but because of your instructions my theacher thinks I have been doing this for years! These compliments I here by pass on to you. Thanks for your patience and explanations.
Hi Beatrijs and thanks so much for your kind words. Much appreciated. I'm so glad you enjoyed the content on my channel. Stay tuned for more! Greetings from Tromso
Just wanted to tell you how much I enjoy your videos. You are a great teacher! You are the catalyst to me being passionate and obsessed with monoprinting now. Love it! I saw you were tracking where your viewers lived. I live on the southern coast of Texas between Palacios and Port Lavaca. Thanks again! Tammy Watson “T”
I love your approach to handles, Sarah! I am now on a new mission to find ribbed butter pats. :0) You have inspired me to make a "Fossil Mug" for my 93 yr old father! Perfect Father's Day gift. If I can't find a ribbed butter pat, I will find a way to improvise. Love your Tip Top Tuesdays! Hope all is well with your students back in the studio. Bet you are very busy! Thanks for the inspiration; take care, and looking forward to your next Tip Top Tuesday! Cheers! from your fully vaccinated fan in New Mexico USA! :0))
Thanks so much for your kind words Joann. Lovely to hear from you again and great news about your vaccinations- hope it will get us all out of this mess! Ebay might be a good place to look for ribbed butter pats. Happy hunting! 😊
Thank you for this... I have recently been working on handles...trying "pulling"...but I love the way you add textures to yours...very whimsical! thanks you for sharing this---congrats on having live bodies back in the studio!!!
@@thepotterycorner the husband and I will be doing our "Stay-cation" soon and am eager to get tons of Muddy time out in the Shack, will be reviewing your videos for refreshers!
Another great demonstration - thank you. I love the texture ideas you gave. My only suggestion is that the camera cut off the top of the demonstration a bit at times and also it played sideways…that could have possibly been my iPad though. Look forward to the next Top Tip Tuesday. What brand underglazes do you like? Those colors are very bold and bright & look really pretty. 🌸🌺🌻
Hi Natalie- thanks for commenting. You're right the camera changed the angle without my realising. Very annoying as it takes forever to set up, record, edit and upload these videos. I know this one is not my best unfortunately. I use the underglaze medium (which is uncoloured) produced by Jane Scott Ceramics in Wiltshire and make my own colours from high fire pigments. Hope that helps 🙏
I've got swacks of those texture mats, but didn't realize that they came in that super-large size. I'm ordering some today. FYI, I order tons of stuff from AliExpress, an Asian site. Excellent prices.
Thanks Sarah, such clear instruction as always - greatly appreciated, thank you. Could you recommend a company who is a good producer of "Makers Mark" stamps?
Hello Alyson and thanks for watching from across the other side of the world 🌎. I use my usual stoneware clay body for the handles. It is a white body but not exactly the same colour as the casting slip. I haven't had any issues with cracking handles or anything. I suppose to be a purest you could dry some of the casting slip and then form handles from this but seems a lot of work for no benefit. Hope that helps 😄
😂 Blue Peter is an educational childrens programme which has been on the TV here in the UK since I was a small child (and before) and is still running today. They used to make projects and have the things made in stages as they went along and would say "and here's one I made earlier" when they brought out the next stage. It's a bit of a saying in England - have a look on TH-cam th-cam.com/video/CTnKEqEvqNM/w-d-xo.html - magic 90's video - great hair and great clothes - hilarious!!
Hi Heidi. Great to hear from you again. I think my moulds make a mug (finished size) of about 4 inches high and 5 inches wide. They are quite chunky! 😁

Greatly enjoyed the lovely video. I am in the process of attaching the handles. This video came to my rescue. Thank you.
Hi Vani - so glad my video helped you 😊. Handles can be tricky and can make or break a Thrown piece. Thanks for watching 😁
Thank you for being there with your very useful tips!, From Uruguay, South América
Hi Uge thanks so much for watching. Uruguay is a new 📌 on my world map of TH-cam watchers. Don't forget to subscribe 😉
So lovely to see you back! Could you make a video on dremelling work as it’s something I struggle with. Thank you ❤️
Hey Kate. I have done one on Dremelling the large garden fountain. I could do another shot one though. My least favourite job! Thanks for watching 😍

Awww thanks Tammy - what lovely words. Thanks for your kindness 😊.
Me too Tammy. I don’t think I would have even tried it if it hadn’t been for Sarah.
@T&K Smith - thanks Keryn - very kind. I just love that you've all had a go and love it as much as me. 😍

Thanks Mona - glad it was helpful. 😄
Thanks for your videos who are so great!!!😍
Thanks Helena 😊
Ooh, great tutorial Sarah. And highlights how long the process is to create a hand made mug. Maybe enthused to try again! x
Thanks my lovely - very kind.😊

Thanks Cher for the tip. I'll have a look at that site. Thanks for watching again 🙂
Do you have a TH-cam on handbuilding mugs?
Thanks Sarah, such clear instruction as always - greatly appreciated, thank you. Could you recommend a company who is a good producer of "Makers Mark" stamps?
Hi Aine - thanks so much for your kind words. There are lots of perspex makers mark stamps on Etsy. They seem to be pretty good. Hope that helps.😀
@@thepotterycorner super thanks Sarah, I'll have a look.
Hi from NZ :) is the clay you use for the handle the same as the slip? Does it matter if the handle clay is different to the casting slip?

I trying to find the video made with mud for the resting the mug to put handle. I could not find it. Do you know exact the of the channel? Thanks 🤗
Hi Marcia - the channel is called Made with Mud and the video title is 'Potters tool cheap, easy and a game changer' hope that helps 😀
Thank you, much appreciated 🤗
Sorry but I can not find it. I tried made with mud , potters tool cheap, no luck. I’m wondering if just show in UK
Just one question ... who or what is Blue Peter? “True Blue Peter style” gets me every time.
😂 Blue Peter is an educational childrens programme which has been on the TV here in the UK since I was a small child (and before) and is still running today.

And now it makes sense. Thanks
@T&K Smith - so pleased. Handles are a trickey one that many people struggle with - glad it helped 😀
How wide and tall are your slip cast mugs
Hi Heidi. Great to hear from you again. I think my moulds make a mug (finished size) of about 4 inches high and 5 inches wide. They are quite chunky! 😁
@@thepotterycorner thanks,still making wonky pots. Just trying different ideas and animals
Found butter pats on Amazon!
Hi Joann - great- I love an eBay find 😄
