We are often asked how we deal with our left-over/waste clay…
First, we dry out what’s known as ‘slop’ (wet clay) on a plaster slab: the plaster absorbs moisture from the wet clay to a point where we can peel the clay off the slab and put it in our ‘pugmill’ (a machine much like an industrial sausage-maker!), which mixes and de-airs the clay before expelling it in logs… which can then be used again 🙂
