Pulling the handle by hand is a technique used in mug making to compete the production of the handle. The process invloves holding clay in one hand and with the other hand (which is wet) stroking the clay into a strip. This strip is then cut into desired lentghts (apporx four inches). One end of the strip is then attached to the top of the mug. The strip is then stroked through a pulling process and looped round to form a handle. The other end is then fixed towards the base end of the mug.
