Pulling Handles on a Stoneware Mug

Pulling and attaching, and pulling again... the handles for these stepped mugs. A trickier process than the handles on my normal mugs as these kick-up a little more and need more of a graceful arch to them. It's simple, in theory, but I still find these tricky to pull consistently due to their fineness.

Thanks for watching!
