Jar Handles

Put handles on these two jars tonight. It's much harder than it looks to make the handles... and then attach them! One will be a gift; the other I will keep, I think...
Jar handles. Adrienne did demos for almost two hours tonight and it was amazing to watch her make lids and handles for various forms. Above is a casserole dish.

Here she's finally taking it off of the bat.. and the wheel.

Then she put a handle on a teapot and a spout too, plus trimmed the teapot. She does it all so fast, it's a bit hard to remember at times.

The finished casserole dish... The picture doesn't show it, but there are two handles on the sides... it's all pretty incredible.

Meanwhile, I made this jar before class-- and it has a flange (a ledge on the top to hold a lid), so it will get a lid at some point. :) A great class, except that I was hungry and tired towards the end and it is harder to make handles than I thought! I finally was able to make two sets of handles that I like. It's always good to escape to the pottery world. How I wish I spent more time in the studio...
