From decorative handles to functional spouts, attachments are featured in much of Martha Grover's pottery. Since she works in porcelain, she has to be extra careful to make sure her attachments are stuck on tight. What she came up with to alleviate attachment headaches is a super sticky joining slip made of paper clay and vinegar.
In today's excerpt from her videoCreating Curves with Clay, Martha shows us how she makes her joining slip and attaches a handle. - Jennifer Poellot Harnetty, editor
