 CLAY FROM DRIED
CLAY RESIDUES

Allow the clay to dry out completely, then

break it down into small pieces and place
it in a plastic container – washing up
bowls are a good choice because they
contain a manageable amount. Cover the
clay with warm water and allow it to
break down overnight – this process is
called slaking down. The water should
completely cover the clay.
Siphon off the excess water covering the
clay. The easiest way to do this is to use a
slip trailer, but any soft squeezy bottle
would work if you don’t have a trailer.
Empty the excess water into a separate
container close to the clay, to minimize
spillage.
Give the slurry a little mix then transfer to
an absorbent surface, such as a plaster
batt, to form a layer about 5cm thick. Use
your hand or a wooden spoon for this –
either way it can be a little messy.
The clay will dry out quite quickly so check
it from time to time. When it has dried to a
stage where it can be lifted easily from the
batt, turn the clay over so that the wetter
surface comes into contact with the plaster,
to even up the firming process.
When the clay has firmed up to a workable
consistency roll it up as shown, so that any
remaining excess moisture is contained –
this will be distributed when the clay is
wedged.
Still working on the plaster batt – work
the clay into a large brick shape – this is
by far the easiest shape to manage when
wedging.
