I think i've made a good bit of progress with my handles on this latest set of 5 mugs (It would have been 10 mugs If i hadn't stupidly gone too thin on the base on half of them.) For a while I think my handles have been letting my pots down a bit and putting me off from trying to make pitchers which really need a great handle. In particular I've been having a hard time getting the right profile which depends entierly on the shape of your grip on the glay as you pull out the handle. Thanks to a lot of very helpful instructional videos on Expert Village and YouTube, and a fair bit of practice, I think I'm starting to get the hang of it.
