* Prerequisite: Cylinder Bootcamp

In Handles and Pitchers, you’ll explore multiple handle styles and learn how to create both pulled and hand-built spouts.

By the end of the course, you’ll have:

  • At least 2 pitchers with well-crafted spouts
  • A multi-handled pot
  • 6 different handle styles

This class will push your creativity. To create high-quality pitchers, spouts and handles need to align both in design and function. You’ll focus on handle placement for ease of pouring and minimizing drips. You'll be using your sketchbook, so you can plan and experiment with designs before committing to the full pot.

Week 1: Learn 5 variations of basic handles, both pulled and hand-built. Begin attaching handles to your Handle Example Pot.

Week 2: Explore basic spouts. You’ll need a leather-hard cylinder and a fresh cylinder with a thicker rim. Learn how to pull a spout from the fresh clay and add a hand-built spout to the leather-hard.

Week 3: Study handles for different pots, including crocks, vases, and larger pieces. Sketch multiple handle options and work through the design process.

Week 4: Refine handles and spouts for the best possible finish.

Class lasts 2 hours. The first hour will be instruction, the rest will be for practice. We expect all participants to practice outside of class.  You're welcome to come practice during retail hours. However, wheels cannot be used during class due to the Wheel Foundations class happening at the same time.

  • 2 Hours of learning and practice each week
  • FWC Sketchbook to plan out designs
  • Immediate feedback from experienced teachers
  • Confidence in your design process
  • Shelf space for class to share
