Show transcript0:00Okay, now that the lug is attached, you're going to take your mug and you're going to hold it somewhat upside down like this.0:07Get your hand very wet, get this very wet, and then you're going to start gently pinching and pulling.0:15This is a very slow process. You want to do it gradually.0:21You want to do it from all angles. I like to put a groove down the middle, a place for you to put your thumb when you're holding the mug.0:29So I do that with my thumb, but then I turn my hand around several different directions to make sure that I'm getting a really even and consistent handle.0:41Keep it really wet, keep it lubricated. If you get any friction, you might accidentally pull a piece off.0:47Inevitably, that'll happen to you your first time. It's part of the learning process of pulling a handle.0:54And you just keep going until you've got it the length and thickness1:01that you want.1:04Almost there.1:09Okay, now once it's there, you take the mug and you turn it right side up.1:16You hold up the corner,1:21and then you push the base right there to where you scored,1:26cut off with your finger the bottom of it, and then smooth it in.1:33And now you can do any finish smoothing to the top part that you need to do to make it look just like you want, and you can shape it into its final shape.
