This is the process behind how we managed to make consistent handles and stamps for our pottery!
We used to hand-pull our handles but, they took us a lot of time and, when we found our style, we wanted to replicate it properly. Thankfully James, in his wonderful James fashion, brought home a 3D printer one day and we found soooo much utility in it.
One being, we could print out specific dyes on the extruder.
Once the long spaghetti strips of clay are extruded, we drape them over the forms we like and wait for them to harden enough to stick them onto our thrown pieces.
This had added a little more time for us to put in more attention to detail when throwing or trimming while not taking away too much of the human process.
Anyway, that’s todays’s rant.
Thanks for reading and stay cozy xx
