Great for getting clay from that 33 gal. trash can!
As you can see, I am now having to set aside wheelwork, until such time as I can find a wheel. Time to explore slabwork for awhile. I have found a place behind the Taro plant where I can dig a pit in the side of the hill and line it with rocks for pit firing - something else I will be exploring for the first time! Wish me luck!
What a beautiful landscaping surrounding your studio, loved the tour and that is an interesting cutter, can't quite figure out how it works. For the sink I notice you have two red plastic containers under, are those to catch the clay? I need to figure out some type of set up for my new studio and I surley don't want to put it down the drains.
ReplyDeleteNo, the two red containers are gas cans. I keep a five gal. bucket with water in it to rinse tools and hands. When the clay starts getting about halfway up the bucket, I scoop it out and dry it out some to reuse. You can wait till it gets deeper, then just carefully pour the water off. I know one potter who has a recycle bucket like that for each different clay she uses. It's a very simple but effective way to keep the clay out of your drains!
