No. I refuse to let any hint of sexuality into my practice of ceramics . The entirety of it being so sloppy and phallic it becomes immediately tedious. Mention "Ghost" and our pottery lesson is on thin ice.Okay, now I'm going to need you to do an SRS analogy with pulling handles.
Besides, I've always absolutely fucking sucked at pulling handles, can never get the balance right... Long tubey things covered in slick water really don't like staying in one peice... The weight usually gives me problems in the immediate construction while it's still brand new, or if I try another method, its not as strong and is at risk of eventually sprining crack, or fistula if you will. A tiny area of weakness that even if it doesn't immediately go, there's always the chance later.. Damnit.
It is exactly the same.
It pisses me off so I just rarely make handled stuff.
Now, if someone was going to pay me $40,000 for some mugs, I might find the energy.
(They'd probably still be bad handles though.. Food for thought. The end point of this, is tifs should stick to strap ons, which is the closest thing I can think of to using an extruder to make a nice handle if you can swallow your pride
I can, tifs.
CAN YOU?
