    Thrift store items are my ABSOLUTE favorite things to hunt for and use to drape clay over!! For glass pieces I use light coat of cooking spray. When the texture is on the outside of the piece it’s the absolute best!!! This is the perfect piece for drippy glaze combos!! Love it!! Using the dowel to make the mug is amaaaazing!! How cool is that!!! May I ask why you go back and press the clay back onto the tube? Thanks so much h Ann. Those handle extruders are life savers aren’t they? I don’t buy the Diamond core ones as the cheaper ones work just fine! That chickadee mug is adorable!! Omg I forgot about the tar paper thing!! I have some a friend gave me but I forgot what it was for!! Hahaha. You’re soo awesome Ann!! The little snake and ball at those seems before is just a fabulous idea!! My gosh. I Can’t thank you enough for all you teach us!!

      Thanks for sharing that Michele. I can tell you really have a potters mind. As far as why I work backwards and press the clay to the tube ----my tube is the sze diameter of the mug I want. It is actually a little wider than I like. When I am stretching the clay out to insert the tube, i have to stretch it largert than the tube which is too wide for a mug so I work it back to shrink i down. It makes the cylinder even too as it can be difficult to get exactly even. Which handle makers do you use. I havent found another one as wide as the Diamoncore ( or as adjustable)

      @@micheledickey4066 I understand. It is not something you need to do, but give that technique a try and you will see that it can be easy to loose control of the size of the cylinder. Working the clay backward helps you get the size you want. 🙂
