ADHERE

ca: ADHERIR-SE

Adhere in pottery refers to how different products when put together can be made to stay in place and do not run. When adding colors to a fired, glazed surface, a natural glue product can be used to make them adhere. A thin layer is brushed over the surface to keep the colors in place and when the object is fired, the glue burns away.
