If your native soil is hardpan, clay is easy to dig up, but the soil holds too little water for good plant growth, and organic material just tends to float away on the wind. Mixing clay waste with sand and either peat moss or sawdust will make a suitable growing medium for plants on its own. In the drier parts sand is also generally easy to come by, and the mixture of clay and sand will hold the organics together and allow roots to take hold, beginning the process of soil rejuvenation.
P.S.: Aquarium trick, get a length of plastic hose and use it as a siphon to drain water from the top of a bucket without disturbing the bottom layer by tipping the bucket. Fill the hose with tap water and cover the end with a finger to start it, unless you like the flavor of delicious clay water of course.
This is so useful. Everyone covers the creative stuff, but you seem to cover so much more. The practicalities are so Important.
If you are throwing into the landfill, why not throw outside. Clay is earth, but the 2 bags you wrap it in are toxic. Makes no sense. Just dump it outside. Make bricks or something from it to line the driveway or garden. Loose the plastic bags.😮
Use a flocculant separator called SlurrySep. You can dewater and filter water in only a few minutes. Acid in the blend will kill mold.
Where can buy this?
Thank you for covering all these important topics in details!! I'm trying to do ceramics at home and trying to figure all these things out. New sub! ❤
ahh! thank you for sharing! i've been graduated out of my ceramics degree since 2 years ago and despite wanting to start an at-home pottery studio, the water waste (and dust too i guess) always puts me off--especially since i was so used to having a professional well-equipped studio in school. this video just gave me confidence and reassurement to finally start!
This is SOOOOO IMPORTANT!! I wish so badly I had known this. I didn’t know this for a long time and thankfully found out before any problems occurred. I now have a clay sink trap but I still prewash everything.
Always let the clay water settle overnight. If you pour really slowly the clay won’t agitate and you get less clay in your sink.
Oh man you were lucky!
What kind of clay sink trap do you have? Is it like the gleco trap system or something else?
An unglazed/terracotta vessel might be a good method of drying slip... Was thinking this may be a nice sort of way to "make your own tools" and avoid having to spend a lot of money/use plastic tools. I have seen people use the porous nature of unglazed ceramics for everything from purifying water/filtration, to isolating iron heavy sand/silt from water.
Yes! The perfect video at the perfect time! 🤗
I'm glad for that!
There is very useful advice in the video, but I don't recommend burying the clay outdoors, as many plants don't thrive well in that kind of soil and it doesn't provide oxygen well for the roots of the plant. But small amounts may be harmless and there are also plants, who do thrive in soil with clay well.
Thanks for the tips!
that water is actually perfect for drilling with, just needs to be thinned out with more water before use
This was very useful! Thank you!
Thank you so much for this! I just had one question about how to clean the clothes used while working with clay. Lately I’ve been rinsing them first to release the clay and then throwing in the washing machine… because I’m guessing throwing straight into the washing machine can also become clogged with clay material. BTW I’m only doing pottery from my home in a small unit! Thank you again - I have 2 buckets sitting with mould in that I wasn’t too sure where or how to dispose of it! :)
Thank you so much for sharing !
You are so welcome!
You're awesome! Very insightful, thank uuu
Hey Mia, I was wondering what your thoughts would be on using coffee filters for the clay water? I just started experimenting with clay at home and have about two glasses of dirty water after cleaning up my tools and table (for extra pieces of clay and thick slip I usually put them directly into another container to reuse). At the end of a making session I usually poor the water out in a coffee filter. The clay bits stay in the filter that I throw in the garbage and the filtered water I poor down the sewer. I don't really have a place to keep containers like you do. Would you say this is an okay way to dispose of it at home? By the way thank you very much for all the advice and information you share, it is so helpful. Glad I found you ^-^
I think that works! I haven't tried it myself, but I used to filter clay water through fabric, so I think it would work similarly. :)
I just have a big bucket that I wash all my clay stuff in. I let everything settle and once there is enough sediment I pour off the water and put the slib on a plaster slab to recycled
Love your videos! Very uselful.
Thank you!🎉 Could u use it to do terra sigillita?
Question for ALL: Would a sewer in a big city work as well?
Hello, I am setting up a home/club studio and am considering buying the Botz sedimentation tank, like yours. Does the paint on the painted metal surface ever flake off? There is a plastic Rhode sed tank I am also considering. The Botz seems sturdier but I just want to check if the paint flecks off before I decide. Thanks heaps for your feedback, if you're able :)
What professional filtration system do you have in that video? Thank you Dorothy Ceglinsky.
The link for the DIY filtration doesn't seem to be working? Great video. Thanks!
Hey! sorry its a link to ab external website, so I dont have any control over it! but if you google “clay filtration system”, there should be a couple options coming up 👌
I would pour it into the toilet instead of the sink
What about if I have a small amount of clay covering my hands? Do you think it would be alright to wash that down the drain?
When your done and got the most washed of your hands in the dirty water and you you scrub the clay under your nails,then yeah you can do that. Bud not whole lots of clay because it can build up in the pipes
Exactly what Angelique said :)
thanks
Hi. Very interesting. However, the DIY gravity filter link leads to a 404 page, and your gravity filter doesn't seem to be for sale anywhere in North America. Any other link for the DIY gravity filter? Or for purchasing your grav. filter? Thanks in advance
Sorry about that! Just try googling "gravity filter pottery studio" or something similar. There are loads of examples out there.
Ive Seen a diy with 3 Garage bins from Ikea, and some plumbing couplings, its actually pretty easy
i like your workshop. can we reuse tha same clay
How do u dispose glaze material?
Yeah I really need to know that so I hope they respond
watch the whole video, she put a slide up about glaze disposal
I just toss it in the neighbors yard! (it's cell phone towers property)
😂😂😂
Hello, can I put the air dray clay in the kiln like the jovi brand ? and Can I use the gas oven without the direct fire? Please I need help. I make flowers and I cannot choose the most suitable clay to be very solid after finishing,thank you
I think this is the video for your questions: ua-cam.com/video/-zxHm1YhfWw/v-deo.html
Thanks Margot!
Can I just throw it in the back yard dirt?
Hey! Abbas Duman responded elsewhere in this comment section with:

👌👌👌
I don’t know any professional potter who would dream of putting clay water down the sink. It becomes part of the reclaim
lol, of course. This is meant for hobbyists who are making stuff at home.
Hi there, thank you so much for sharing all your info through your videos. The video 'How to set up a home studio: @...' is not available when I click your link under the video. Is it under a different name?
Thank you so much, lots of warmth from the Dominican Republic :)
