Since I started pottery in 1964 there have been so many strides forward. I watch all and any KZfaq videos and I will always learn something new. I have been potting since 1964 and I am still loving the process and learning.Pottery whether you have practised for one day or 40 years, there is always something new.

I love this! Reclaiming clay was the main reason I love clay so much. If I don’t love it I reclaim it even if it is bone dry. Thank you so much for sharing this. My reclaim bucket is 5lt as I only have a small unit. I do use a pillow case as I put the clay in the pillow case on the plaster slab. Makes it easier to flip 😊

Best way by far 👍 I use a large plaster bat I made in a cardboard box! Being nearly 50 and been doing pottery over 25 years…. I will use power tools to mix and slam wedging as my body aches these’d days!! Pottery can be quite harsh in one’s body over the years.

Rather than a plaster bat (which is too involved for me to make), I've been using a piece of drywall. It works very well. Cheers.

Running fingers down the cross section of the reclaim block to test how blended the layers are is an excellent tip! Thank you for the awesome video!

I'm so glad you all just put it into one bucket too, that's how I instinctively started doing it!

I’ve always done it this way because I thought it was strange to dry then wet it again 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Then when it’s mixed and wet I make colored clay with some of it while it’s really soft and mixable. 😎

Totally agree with you about the silly pillowcase method. After trying it twice, I realized how much extra work was involved over the simple scoop onto a plaster bat system. 😁

I slam in smaller layers - helps to avoid carpal tunnel. Wedging kills me sometimes

I love working with reclaim (because centering that beautiful clay is so easy most of the time!!) that I sometimes feel sad opening a new bag of clay BUT I also love working with a new bag of clay because I don't have to wedge because I'm too broke for a pug mill nor do I have the space!! :) Always looking forward to your Sunday videos!! :D

thanks for sharing super helpful, totally going to use this next time i reclaim clay :)

This was extremely timely. I appreciate your outlook and philosophies, many thanks.

This is perfect timing as I’ve got a bucket of reclaim to use up! Thank you!

Love your editing. You make great content. Enjoyable and informative. ❤

Potters be slammin' 😂🙌

Great philosophy. Simple + easy.

Thanks Lilly, good timing. How did you attach the casters to your bins? Love your videos!

looks guiltily at my many many buckets of reclaim.

I love the squish squish of the hand, its my therapy

That’s wedging. It’s been done since the beginning of time.
