Instructions

I make this clay in a Soldner clay mixer. I begin by wetting down the interior mixer surface, then add all the dry materials and dry mix for 10 minutes. Then, I begin to add approximately 3–5 gallons of water to the drum. I also add slop and trimmings, which affects the amount of water used. This yields 150 pounds of clay when complete.
