I'm starting to speak now, I'm starting to speak now, I'm starting to speak now, I'm starting to speak now, I'm starting to speak now, I'm starting to speak now, I'm starting So this is the black slip And I add just a tiny little bit of sodium silicate into the slip now slip is kind of Not very sticky So it's easier for me to brush it down You Okay, so just carefully brushing the slip over Let it set a bit The slip is out. It's a little bit wet. So I will let the surface dry a tiny little bit more before I do the carving or do the chattering So on this one I would like to use my special tool for carving the very fine fine lines this is my Scoville tool There's a little hook and I can find use that this tool to carve the fine line but before I do that, I like to Kind of evenly divided the whole piece into a even sections So I'm putting my Disc here. So this is also my disc. There's some information there that Several equal part of the line there. That's all I can have a little guide line there First I will center Find the center Okay There's one here One here So that a equal part Then I will turn it turn it upside down and let's just find the center point Make a mark Just use the needle to kind of making a mark and then I will connect the line Sponge and use a ruler to connect it so the line will be straight We just just use a hammer so that the line is more natural I'm using even the finer tip to cover very fine. I just freehand carve You My handle is ready to attach Usually I hang mine at that I pull my handle I hang it right on the side of my wheel Before I turn so after I finish trimming and then Depending on the weather Summertime maybe 30 minutes one hour. The handle is dry You're ready to attach it with the time. It could take up to like three to four hours to dry. So I'm waiting for Everything that is dry that you can when you will put your hand there. It's not feeling sticky On the steel bendable. You see that the clay is still flexible. That's the stage I Usually wait until that stage and to attach the handle so first I score my body of the mug My brush the slip over And then cutting my handle And usually use my fingernail to tap the tip of The spot that I just cut to kind of widen it so the edge of clay After I attach it I could use that. I don't need to roll the coil and I could smooth and use a Needle tool to smooth it. So that's why I'm usually Using my fingernail to tap it open. You can see that It's a little bit opening And then I score the slip over Put my hand behind inside the mug behind it to support it and then Slightly apply pressure when I'm attaching it So that's the attaching and then after that just let the handle hang down naturally Let me find the right curve Okay, so that will be the right curve and I will put a little bit of slip there Make sure that handle is straight And get a needle tool to just press down to cut it Before I compressed it I usually put a drip of water there right by the joint And then after that use my thumb to compress it and smooth it Put a little bit of water there to smooth it So that's how I attach my handle And I wouldn't touch this portion yet Because this is still wet So I will let that sit a while maybe five ten minutes and then I come back later When I come back later because the body is kind of still a little bit drier than the handle so I want the The moisture to even out so the body will draw some water from the handle and after that I will come back and then use the needle to Smooth it, but for now, I would just let it sit And move to my next one This mug is a little bit taller so I will put my attachment right there on the slip And versus the other one that is shorter, so I just attach right there right by the corner again, let it sit for Five ten minutes and then come back and take care of that You
