This weeks video is a little different, but it's one that has been requested numerous times. It shows how I reclaim and wedge clay ready to use in the studio. I use both the cut wedging technique and the spiral wedging method too and I'll certainly be making a more in-depth video in the future about spiral wedging if that's something that'll appeal to you guys?

Plaster Batt Recipe:
8320g Potter's Plaster
2080g Herculite Plaster
(This is per plaster batt, you could make a thinner layer and spread it across two batts but I prefer the thicker ones. Additionally, you can place chicken wire into the mould and pour the plaster over to strengthen them. I've always used thicker batts as they tend not to get over saturated too quickly).
Let me know if you've got any questions in the comments below and as always, thanks for watching.
