Hi Dennis,
In my work I have lots of such bits and pcs.=3DA0 They used to pile up and
I still have old boxes around that I am slowly incorporating into clay, or
using as "trash clay" if they are too dirty.
But nowadays I go a different route.=3DA0 If you also do thrown work, you
might find, as I have, that there are lots of uses for this stuff.=3DA0 I k=
no=3D
w it
doesn't hold up as well for throwing, but for lots of simple shapes that
don't demand lots of height or shaping, as in mugs for instance, this
clay, by itself or mixed with throwing clay, might throw fine.
So, instead of letting them pile up, I just plop the bits as they come into
a water container, and then dry a batch into wedging consistency and
put aside for use in the short term.
A note about "trash clay":=3DA0 if you are making castings then maybe, or
hopefully, you are also making molds.=3DA0 If you do any mold making, you
know it requires clay for this and that.=3DA0 For me, as I have made smalle=
r
molds using fat slabs of clay to hold in the plaster, and use clay for the
positive models, I have a trash can of bags of clay with bits of plaster in
it or so on that I have put aside for not making into pots.
Just a few thoughts about recycling your slip casting cut-offs in an
easier fashion than making back into slip.=3DA0 I just would never bother t=
o
do that.
Best, and hope this helps,
Eleanora
