I took a picture this time of setting up the various tools and practice slabs of clay for teaching my handle making (without pulling) and better attachments class at the studio.

The attendees were impressed by how easily the hand extruders make interesting and cute handles. Everyone feels less daunted by handles now. And yet, the number one "thing I learned" from all of them was using a super soft silicone rib to smooth & shape clay. Vinegar water was number 2 on the list.
