Looks amazing! What is the grey thing you're brushing to stick the handle? Is it glue?

[@ThePotteryWheel]

it's clay slip (I make mine out of vinegar, dry clay and mashed up paper. You can see how I make it here thepotterywheel.com/slip-and-score/

Hi where did you get your brand stamp from? Thank u and what was that oil you put on it it looks perfect

[@ThePotteryWheel]

Hi there, I can't actually remember where I got my stamp. I'll have a look and see where I bought it from. The oil is just olive oil! 🙂

[@baidarka-guy]

Good job. Simple, yet effective. Miss your commentary though.

[@ThePotteryWheel]

I know, I was trying something new with the music and no nattering on :)
