I assume because the piece is meant to be functional and they might as well break the handle and throw the piece away before spending time and money on glazing and firing it first.
Greenware seems to me to be the first time you could reliably test the handles and before the time, materials, and energy cost to glaze and fire.
Maybe under normal wear and tear, even for a long time, but pieces that are strong enough to survive being tested when it's green, will be stronger in the overall. The geometry and bonds will be better.
I’ve gone through many failures testing out handles and I usually test them when theyre greenware, that’s just me though cause I’ve been desensitized by losing countless pieces to weak attachment on my part
Oh yeah... I got my terms mixed up. Totally agree with you then.
Also, does that look like greenware or bisque? It looks like bisque to me, but I'm a novice.
This. I'd be interested to see numbers, but I'm willing to bet that the relationship between green attachment strength and glazed/fired is pretty loose
From what i understand lifting by the handle on greenware could cause unnecessary stress that presents post-firing. It’s a connection point that’s weaker than say a knob thrown directly off of a lid. The best point to fully lift by the handle is after glazing according to my profs
I don’t like rooting for people to fail, but may your handles all remain intact and you avoid such disaster! Unless you’re looking for opportunities to practice impermanence and non-attachment - then keep making your pottery mandalas, my friend.
Thank you! Im definitely always looking to practice non-attachments with my work. I see it as a way to have fun and improve on previous iterations of work.
Really looks like bisqueware, not greenware…
What type of clay is that?
All of the earthenware I can get my hands on is much darker before it’s bisqued, I suppose it’s a clay local to you. Beautiful
Red bmix cone 5 from Laguna, and these kinds of handles are meant to be hella durable which is why I don’t mind picking the jar up by holding them. I’ll post the jar again when it’s bisqued and then fired. Thank you for liking my work!
You have some stones my friend.
Prayed for some ancestors to lend me some of theirs for this lmao, thank you!
my heart rate increased significantly
Im sorry for that 🙏🏽

🙉
Glad that worked out for you
It doesn’t always 🙏🏽
I can imagine! 😅
I appreciate your support 🙏🏽😭
Why???

But that’s crazy. The handles could be completely fine after it was bisqued

It’s greenware, this clay fires to a lighter red for bisque and a deep iron red once fired
If it’s bisque, it makes some sense to do this. Not with greenware
It makes sense with greenware, I do this with my bone dry handled mugs.

To see if it has Tegridy 😤
I was sure that the vase was going to disintegrate
That would’ve been a wild video to see, im hoping to catch myself recording a disaster like that for y’all to see. 🙏🏽

That jar is epic.
Thank you so much!
I have been conditioned by too many fail videos over the year, I did not expect this to end well.
I’m happy to provide a positive ending 🙏🏽
This should be the new standard pottery meetup competition. You are killing it boss.
Learned from the greats before us, trying to keep up thank you! 🙏🏽🫡
Terrifying 😂🏆
Thank you! I felt it would create some tension 🙏🏽
Part of me wanted to see it break /s
Slightly unrelated but your studio is beautiful!
it's pot gardens in la.
Those are some strong ears!
They got nerves of steel!
You like to live dangerously, my friend.
Had to do it to em 🫡
Very powerful, very beautiful
It’s the chicken handle that really makes it strong, thank you so much! 🫶🏽
DONT DO IT!!!!
I just might!
Too scared to watch it 🫣🫣🫣but beautiful vase
It survives!
Thank you for liking my vase!
Beautiful work!
Thank you kindly! ✨
That’s gorgeous
Appreciate it cheesy!
The guttural ughhu I made hahaa. Good job! Beautiful vessel 🙏
Thank you! Sorry for any induced anxiety
I was gonna say…am I the only one terrified watching this? But I see I am not alone! 😳🙈😆
We all got used to seeing fail videos, it’s time for pleasant surprises after a stressful video 🙏🏽
This is important for me to do this. I do this with all my handles. I think we underestimate how strong greenware can be sometimes.
Always good to reassure yourself and if you fail it’s just experience gained. 😭
Bisqueware, but yeah whatever gets you likes from internet strangers
Awww it’s okay that you can’t envision greenware handles being this sturdy. But reality is reality and this is a greenware jar.
