Hey hey , way to go :)

I love all of your videos, so helpful for a beginner like me! I tried pulling handles for the first time after watching this. They weren’t too bad. I’ve decided not to buy an extruder now, I’m going to pull all my handles now! Thank you!!!

I have watched all of your handle pulling videos and I've gotten something from each of them. Thank you.

Hi Simon. You are so correct. Pulling handles is an art onto itself.
Thank you for the demonstration and excellent explanation on pulling handles. I have to say you are a great teacher. You really work hard to make things as clear as possible. This coming from a retired teacher of 30 years. So thank you very much.

Mick Casson’s robust handles drove me to improve my handles decades ago! As I’ve meandered through art fairs and looked at other potters work I’m often stunned at the poor looking and poorly attached handles!

So have I ! Thanks Simon.

There are days I wish I had "man hands" lol. I think it was Marcus O'Mahony who said if you want to learn how to pull good handles, do 100 and you'll get the hang of it.

Have you cleaned your chimney?!? If it’s backing up inside😳… it’s time!!

[@sleachpots]

[@katekaniff5987]

If you have already figured out how to screw the wide diameter cylinder part of a plastic bottle together, and it is still not completely air and liquid tight. Then a little bit more heatwork will solve that problem.
