Lucille Oka Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 Get a sketch pad, number 2 pencils, and an eraser and start sketching everything you can think of as feet, lids and handles anything goes! Hone your clay skills so that additions will be well constructed not tenuous and flimsy but will work well and be well suited to the vessels to which they are attached. Look at this from 18th century France by Veuve Perrin- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bciskepottery Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 Check out Bill VanGilder's Youtube videos; he has one where he demonstrates a number of differnent handles, knobs, that work equally well for either hand building or wheel throwing. Lana Wilson's book, Ceramics: Shape and Surface, has a number of pages showing different styles/types of handles and feet. It is available from her website.
