I have no sink in my studio (a one-car garage)
Water bucket with lid for throwing.
Slurry bucket next to wheel.
Keep transferring water back & forth.
Occasionally will add more water.
Never empty/throw out water.
Couple buckets of water for glazing, occasionally add new water.
Wait a few days, pour off clear water into another bucket.
Settled glaze "sludge" poured into lidded container.
Every few weeks, pour clear water out of "sludge" bucket, re-use.
Every 6 months - year, take glaze sludge to hazardous waste collection.
Never empty/throw out water.
I've got some vintage water for sale...
