I think the cat tail analogy works WAY better, both in terms of the movement, and also the gentleness!👍 With milking cows, it's squeezing from the top (index) finger progressively down to the bottom (ring) finger, while holding your hand mostly in the same place. Why didn't I think of the cat tail analogy?! Genius!💯👍

I love that you re-went over the handle pulling without cuts! Thanks for pulling through to finish even months later

Thanks for posting this, im trying my hand at making a full mug tomorrow, and my pottery classes have been cancelled, so you're my teacher now😂

I'd love a long form video that spans individual pieces you're inspired to make from start to finish, showing the steps. Also, maybe some more personal videos about your journey to teaching and your favorite/least favorite aspects?

just wanted to take the time to thank you for making these and say how much i liked this format. as a 2000’s kid who attempted to become a youtuber like a billion times in my life, i know it’s a lot of work and learning, but please don’t stop! you’re a wonderful teacher

ive always been so curious about handle pulling! :D
ive been blessed, followed you a few days ago, and you give us this after doing other things for a few months! yay!

I really enjoy your longer format vids and I'm really looking forward to more of those if you do decide to keep makin them !!

You are am awesome teacher, you have a soothing voice and a lot of patience, that makes learning easier.  Keep up the great work.  Thanks for sharing!

Would really love to see a video on the handle pulling 🖤 or any other video! I really enjoyed this longer format 🥰

If you had said nothing I would have thought it was intentional not 'newbie learning' . You did great, & I wouldn't change a thing. It brought realism, I felt you connected with me, felt it was 'down home' comfortable and would rather watch this than a 'professional' no mistakes video. You are interesting, and feel like someone I would love to be friends with. You have taught me so much just in the couple of videos I've watched so far. You'll really get the viewers with this one I'm sure.  Thank you for spending the extra and taking the time to put these videos out there, they are greatly appreciated!

Your long form content is great, thank you

Such a good video!! You’re so good at explaining and teaching. I’ve just thrown my first little things at my pottery class after watching your video, and it was such a good help. Keep doing what you’re doing!!

You are the second professional potter I've seen use a repurposed gelato jar for holding slip.

I knew I wasn't the first one to do it, but people were looking at me weird and I felt a little bit awkward until I saw you both had done it also.

i loved this! super helpful!! i cant wait to see what long form video u make next!

I'm learning handles right now! It's so deceptively challenging! This is a slightly different approach than what I learned and I can't wait to try it.

Very helpful thank you 😊

We are in the zone to learn how to create

Can't wait for next video.

amazing, thanks

Great job thanks for sharing Please keep sharing!
