Hi folks!
Up until now, I have been recycling my clay manually, but this is holding me back when it comes to doing repetitive exercises on my wheel, as I think about all that clay I will then have to moosh and dry and wet and dry and knead.
We have spent quite a bit on equipment for the workshop lately, so buying a new machine is out of the question, though I might get lucky and find a used one at a more sensible price.
But - my husband is really great at building things, so I thought maybe some of you could give me ideas that would make my process easier, if not easiest, if you know what I mean.
At the moment, I hang my remixed clay in a pillow-case, but what with other drying clay and standing water, etc., the humidity in my studio is so high, that the clay takes ages to dry to a workable consistency. I don't really have any other place to hang it, though.
Anyway - you guys are so great sharing your experiences and ideas, so I though I would ask for input :-)
Thanks!
Marianne
