Thank you! I hope this helps you get those handles. I love doing handles but hated it when I first started with the lay the handle over the tube thing.
Nancy, you make this look so easy! I've struggled over and over with handle application, but I think your method is ideal....can't wait to try it! Thanks so much!
I'm glad this helped you. If you make sure your mug is not too leather hard you shouldn't have a problem. If mine are I just throw a bag over the piece and let it sit overnight and then uncover...normally don't have any problem with cracking.
Nancy - I tried this method because I was having trouble getting that 'arch' and so far, the mugs look awesome! Hopefully there will be no cracking, but so far, so good!
this is great, I've been trying to attach handles with no success, I've been cutting them off wrong, now I know thanks to you...
You get a lovely sweeping curve, and no joins! Thanks!

Very novel way of doing it! It makes sense to impart the curve while it is still very soft. No stresses that way!
