The article about Tony Clennell just made me grin - last year I made
the brave decision to stop "attaching" handles and begin to pull them.
Shut myself up in the studio for long hours of practice, practice,
practice. Am I known within the ceramics community to have anyone
recognize my handles by "feel"? Not yet, but the time spent in the
practice did wonders for the ware. Like Tony, I too look to handles as
an enhancement to my ware - mostly because now I can do this with
confidence.
