Repair of a Broken Pottery Owl

By Janet Dodrill

I repaired a broken pottery owl figure for a friend.

1) Glued large broken pottery pieces (I used Elmer’s brand).

2) Built-up gap with self-drying clay (I used Crayola brand).

3) Repaired cracks in self-drying clay with glue.

4) Filled hairline cracks with glue.

5) Painted with acrylics.

6) Kept company with the pottery while on my kitchen table over a couple weeks and named her Hoot (full name, Giva Hoot).

7) Gave to friend and made them happy.

That’s my pottery repair!
