Making Ceramic Hot Sauce Bottles - Ceramic hot sauce bottle handle

Alright, now that our little hot sauce bottle is set up, you can easily deal with them. I'm going to start off with nice clean hands. Clean fingers at least. The old scoring rib. And one of these potter's knives to help you get into those little nooks and crannies. So this piece that I kept was just a piece that I chopped off the top. You know, it was too much clay so I cut it off. But I saved it because I see sometimes down the road it's nice to put it back on the pot, but somewhere else. Let's use it as a handle. Do what you want to do. Scratch it, scratch, scratch, scratch, scratch. And then with the slop bucket. A little bit of slip. OK. And the just real simply, just got to go ahead and out it on there. No problem. And if everything is scratched properly, and slip has been appropriately used, ad you're working with your clay at just the right hardness. Somewhere in between being too soft and almost leather hard is how I like to work with it. You have to be more careful, but stuff like this will work out a lot better. So, there is a nice, cute, little ring type of handle job from a hot sauce bottle. Have a little cork in it. Nice little ring here. Maybe kind of boring looking. We need to do something. Pull it back like this. And a lea here, and a noose there, and this here. And, where is this? Go in there. Yeah. That's a little bit more fun. A little more of these. And then something across the bottom here. OK. Pat down anything that might be sharp. And now, we have a fun little hot sauce bottle for my good friend.
