It’s not easy making a ceremac mug. The handle can be especially tricky. Luckily, there’s this great, instructional video. Follow along with me:

• Hold somewhat upside down.
• Get your hand wet.
• Get this wet.
• Start gently pinching and pulling
• Do it gradually.
• Do it from all angles.
• Put a groove down the middle??
• Turn your hand around in several different directions.
• Keep it really wet.
• Keep it really lubricated.
• Any friction means you might accidentally pull a piece off????
• Inevitably it will happen to you the first time. It’s part of the learning process of pulling a “handle”.
• Keep going until you’ve got it the length and thickness you want.
• You’re almost there!
• Turn it right-side up.
• Fold up the corner.
• Fold up the corner?
• Push the base to right there where you “scored”.
• Cut off, with your finger, the bottom of it and smooth it in.
• Now you can do any finishing smoothing to the top part.
• Now you can shape it into its final shape.

Surprisingly, there’s also a gay version out there for those of you who swing that way.
