The Giffin Grip® is a trimming tool that quickly centres and holds pots for trimming on the potter's wheel. It takes the most frustrating step out of the process, and makes trimming fun! They’ve been holding pots on centre since 1978.

We all know that turning the bottoms of leather hard pots can be a frustrating and time consuming process. Difficulties can occur in re-centring the pot as well as getting the pot firmly secured to the wheel. The world-famous Giffin Grip® is here to solve these problems for you.

After a simple one-time adjustment, the Giffin Grip® quickly snaps on and off your wheelhead. The Giffin Grip® cuts turning time in half and makes it possible to turn shapes that might otherwise have been left unturned.

Is the Giffin Grip® just for trimming?
Absolutely not! There are so many uses beyond the original idea of the Giffin Grip®. The Giffin Grip® has been used for trimming (both the inside and outside of pots), slip decoration, carving, waxing, glazing, glaze mixing - the list goes on and on!
