Clay can be infinitely recycled before it’s fired! This process is called ‘reclaiming’ and it involves turning clay that is either too dry or too wet, back into a usable state. 

In this episode, we talk about how to reclaim your own clay without any specialist equipment, in four very simple steps. 

*Scooping sloppy wet clay out of the reclaiming bucket onto a tea towel, inside away from wind and sun.

*Waiting a few days for the clay to dry out. 

* Wedging the clay on another tea towel or cotton cloth to keep the wedging / kneading area free of clay. 

*Storing the clay in an airtight container.
