The glaze is a semi-gloss applied thinly, with subtle variations due to brushed application. Then just carefully let the pot dry completely, and it'll be ready for firing. Use a little slip on your scored points and then carefully attach the handle, applying gentle pressure at the parts it joins. You'll need to score the handle (at the point it will be attached) as well as the pot. Roughly speaking, the pot should be leather hard and the handle should be dry enough to form a gentle curve when it's held. Then you'll need to use your tools to cut the handle to the exact right length and then score the pot where you want to put it. A good tip, once you've made your handle, is to hang it over the edge of a wooden bat, so the air can get to both sides and dry it a little before you attach it. You can always pull it just that little bit longer than you need to make sure that you have enough when it comes to attaching it to your ware. Then you take the clay in one hand and (making sure you have a bucket of water to hand) smooth down the clay pulling it out as you go, with your fingers and thumb. The next part is key, as you have to form a sort of carrot shape with your clay, to form the body of the handle. You'll also need to wedge it to make sure all of the air bubbles have been pushed out. When pulling your handle you must use the same type of clay that you used to make your ware, so it will attach perfectly. As with other handles made from clay, they should be made from the same clay body as the pot they will be attached to.īut what exactly does pulling a handle mean? It's exactly what it says, and involves some very gentle pulling to create a smooth shape that will look perfect on your pot. Another advantage is that the action of pulling the handle aligns the clay particles, this strengthening the clay. Pulled handles have a more organic quality to them and usually have a more fluid line. Many potters prefer pulled handles to strap handles. Note these pulled handle straps are hanging from the same bats as the pots they will be attached to later. This application was developed by Infinite Dreams Inc and can be downloaded from iTunes.Dry the pulled handle straps, allowing air to reach them on all sides. They also have a selling system where your pottery is rated and sold for points for fun. You can create any number of pottery you want, and they will be stored in your collection. You can use your finger to shape the pottery, for which complete instructions are given. Since this is the lite version of the app, you can only use clay to make pottery, and then you can virtually burn to bring it to life.

The pottery is made using the same tools potter uses, i.e., Pottery Wheel and clay. When you run the application, it feels like you are sitting in an all-natural place with trees and birds. If you carry your iPad, you can think of recreating pottery here by looking at one you have at home or even at an exhibition. Grab this Pottery HD app which lets you create pottery the same way you do it in real. Do you love making Pottery but miss the experience because you live in a city where you cannot make the arrangements? Don’t worry if you have an iPad or your friend has one.
