With several bags of dried porcelain scraps from Emily, I felt obligated to get the process started. So I turned out the stoneware reclaim that I’ve had in my orange tub. So I stirred it up, added a little more powdered EPK and stirred some more. I then turned it out onto a large plaster bat for it to set up. The plaster bat will help absorb the moisture out of the gooey clay blob. After a few days, I’ll be able to start wedging it back into usable clay… FREE usable clay!!!

Then it was tine to start the porcelain reclaim. I scrubbed out my orange reclaim bin… and started adding the porcelain scraps into it. A lot of the porcelain scraps are in large chunks, so I did a lot of banging, breaking and “pulverizing” into smaller flakes. The smaller the pieces, the smoother the reclaim.

Add in some water, let the bubbles some up, then add some more water. Once the pile of porcelain flakes are covered with water, the clay will begin to slake down. I’ll stir it up a few times as the water evaporates. And soon enough, I’ll have a huge pile of FREE reclaimed porcelain!!! Thank you Emily!!!
