How to Throw and Handle an Angular Stoneware Mug — Narrated

In this video I'm throwing, trimming, handling and finally carving the handles on these simple angled stoneware mugs. A new form from a whole batch of testing I did to find a different shape. I also discuss some of my making philosophies and discuss cleaning my studio towards the end. Not necessarily an interesting bonus but it's strangely a subject I get asked about a lot.
