Took a little break after watermelon festival to get the kids ready for school and start tidying up the studio. π§½ A part that isnβt as fun or pretty about pottery is reclaim! Those 5gallom buckets hold dry clay from pieces that didnβt make it to first firing, extra left over after trimming, clean off from the wheel and pieces that I forgot about and dried before they were finished! To save some $ and π I now get to spend time breaking it down, turning it into soup, letting it dry, wedging it until my arms fall off, and then FINALLY using it for pots this fall. π Iβm also considering a fall Facebook sale of some leftover pieces. Let me know if thatβs something you would like to see. π
