Reclaim clay

To day I do the hard work, I knead my recycled clay.

When I trimme my clay I collect the clay I trim off and dry it in at bucket.

I also collect the sediment in the bucket I wash my hands in.

I chop it up and slurp it up.

After a week or two, I mix it well with a drill with an auger on.

Then I pour it onto plasterboard in plastic boxes ( they are emty on the photo)

Now I have to wit until the consistency is right, but I turn the clay every naw and then.

When the consistency is right, I put the clay in a plastic bag and leave it for at least a week.

Now I have to knead the clay well before I use it.

Travertin – an interesting glaze

On this mug made in ligt clay (208 Goerg & Schneider – Silicanordic), I have first glazed the inside with sand with effect ( Silicanordic 42008). Thereafter, the top of the outside is glazed twice with a brush glaze Travertin (Botz 9899), and when it is dried, the bottom is dipped in sand with effect.

It is fired to 1230 degrees.

This mug is glazed with the same glazes like the one above, but on this mug is the whole outside glazed twice with Travertin and the clay is 933 with cork spots, Goerg & Schneider altso from Silicanordic.
