Me big hands 🫠

Naw, I haven't really made a big intentional change, I've been just seeing what feels good for me to hold and what I like with the shape of the cup.

A couple times in the past, I've gotten feedback that when I have too-thin handles on my cylinder or stein shaped mugs, they dont really match the big mug. It felt fragile to hold such a big amount of liquid with a thin handle. I do wonder if that's part of why I've been leaning chunkier these days.

But now I'll be revisiting handles when I make my next batch! I have a semi private studio most of the time so miss the chance to talk form and vessel with people, it can be lonely making 60 mugs with only podcasts as company, ahah 😅 It's also easy to fall into habits as a maker and mug handles can really change the experience of using the mug.

I did recently make a series of different small espresso mug shapes with thin, delicate handles that I really enjoyed making. I think its time to get back to the realm of research and development!

Thanks so much for the question, I appreciate it!
