I just added some ball clay to the liquid, will let it rest overnight and then give it another good mix before pouring it out onto my drying rack. I'm hoping to have workable clay in a week or so. 🤞🙏
A little tip from my experience with self dug clay... let your clay completely dry, then add gently to a bucket of water and do not disturb for about a day. You should get zero sticky clumps and a nice smooth clay slurry that will be easy to stir up with your mixer and put through the screen. I'm really enjoying your videos! Cheers!
Thanks so much! I’ve seen folks start with dry. I’m just so impatient and hate to wait for the clay to dry out. I might give that a try next time. Avoiding clumps would be a plus! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. Very much appreciated! 🙏
Can’t wait to see the next step

Thats so awsome :) I can really understand how gathering all the materials establishes a deeper connection to the craft :)
Exactly! It is indeed a deep connection, making the work more personal and authentic!

Maybe just try a handful and see if you think it is worth it for a bigger batch. Cheers!
@@mr63dodge good idea. Thanks again!
