The Brown Bag sessions have featured Martha Gtover's DVD, "Creating Curves with Clay" for the past two weeks and will complete it in our session this Tues., 4/2 at 12:00. Martha has provided many useful techniques and tips, including her recipe for joining slip, which we published previously on a tip from John Wear. It is so useful that's it's worth repeating again (with a slight adjustment).
Martha Grover's Joining Slip recipe:
1. Soak and blend 4 sheets of double ply bath tissue in 1 and 1/2 cups of white vinegar.
2. Add 1 and 1/2 cups of your bone dry clay body broken into 1/4" pieces.
3. Mix into a paste and let sit overnight.
4. Save and use with "slip and score" whenever you are joining slabs.
Martha also suggests that you can do crack repair with this slip. Good luck!
