A Handle or an Elephant Trunk?

Posted by Rabbit (Richmond, United States) on 5 March 2008 in Art & Design.

This is not the best composed photo, and i apologize for that.

As i take pictures of the process my hands are usually covered in wet clay, really not good for cameras. I should stick my camera in its waterproof case - yeah that would be a good idea...

anyway in this picture i'm pulling a handle. To pull a handle you wedge a mound of clay, then sorta pat it into a fat carrot shape. As you hold the top of the fat carrot shape you wet your other hand and gently squeeze and pull down the length of the clay. This technique takes some practice.

After i took this picture i thought the handle looked a bit like an elephants trunk.

Oh i'm so tired,
rabbit
