Thank you. I've got about 400lbs of reclaim and I don't think I'll go through it for maybe 6 months. I think this will keep it workable better than the way I was doing.
Thank Eric! It’s been a while since I last heard from you! I gave you a shout out in the nerikomi pottery video. Maybe you saw it. Anyways, happy potting!
Thank you for sharing this method! I always stored my clay also in plastic bags, but no matter how tight i made it, the clay still manages to dry out in between long time intervalls. Does this method work for months of storing the clay?
Hey Jim, you are full of..............................................................................................................great ideas. I am a subscriber BTW. I wish you had been my art teacher in high school, but you would need to be 48 years older than you are today for that to had happened. Hope your students realize how fortunate they are having the great art studio you showed us in one of your other videos and more important than that, if you put half the enthusiasm you show in your TH-cam videos when teaching them (I'd bet you do and them some), how lucky they are having you as their teacher and mentor.
Ha. You had me on edge with those ............ Thank you for such a kind compliment. My students and I are very lucky to have the space we have. I try to remind them of that. As for the enthusiasm, you’d have to ask them how I’m doing but I do my best 😄
Right now I just have one clay and one batch. But I do the type when I have two. I usually use it quick enough so I don’t need to date it. Or I do the scientific poke test to make sure it’s not getting too stiff ;)
Depends on how wet the clay is and how thick the plastic. If you use big lawn and leaf bags you get so many layers and the plastic is thicker. And then your environment affect that too. My midwest basement in summer is so humid. I’ve stored it for a semester with ease but I always check on it every few weeks.
The typical trash bag takes 10-20 years to decompose, while other plastic trash bags can take 500 to 1000 years to break down. Clay will last till the heat death of the universe. 🙂
Hi bro ! I liked your video very much... But can you pls tell me how to store kids coloured funclay ? I can't store it in just one bag or one box as it's coloured
Yes. This is what I do for clay I’m working with and taking from. If I’m storing it long term I will use a thicker bag. Even then, over time the slay will stiffen but at a much slower rate.
Great idea We’ll start using it. One request please: Lose the music, it’s distracting, interferes with your narration and quite an unpleasant piece that does the opposite of wanting one to follow the point of the video. Thank you.
My clay comes in bags so tight it’s a real struggle to get the clay out - I’m repacking all my clay as it comes in now! Great video, thanks!
Ahhh I’m so glad you found this video then. I can relate with those tight bags. Thanks for the kind words!
Thank you. I've got about 400lbs of reclaim and I don't think I'll go through it for maybe 6 months. I think this will keep it workable better than the way I was doing.
Thanks. It works well. Just make sure you use good enough plastic. Or long term use thicker plastic.
Great idea on how to roll the clay in garbage sacks. I am in the process of reclaiming about a 100# of clay.....Thanks!
Happy to help!
This is pure genius!!! Thanks so much for sharing this! Wow!
Sometimes it’s the simple things right?
merci, c'est super de partager aussi des astuces comme celle la.
Merci beaucoup!
Thank you. Most helpful.
Lovely. Thanks for this!
Great tip! Thank you Jim!

its good having this video!Thanks!
Happy to help!
Thank you!
Great Video!!
Thanks Nick! 👍🏻
Awesome. Cheap, easy, tidy - works OK for just 26 pounds, too.
Really helpful!
Happy to help!
Nice! And no crumby dried clay bits from using old bags!
Right?!? I don’t like throwing those away but I always cringe when I have to reuse them.

Thank u so help full ☺

Cool tip.
Happy to help 😄
Perfect
Thanks!
Love this idea! Do you write the type of clay and the date on the bag before tucking it away?
Right now I just have one clay and one batch. But I do the type when I have two. I usually use it quick enough so I don’t need to date it. Or I do the scientific poke test to make sure it’s not getting too stiff ;)
Thx man!
No problem Paul!
Vous êtes super 👌 très bonne vidéo et très bien expliquée.. Merci 🤩
Thank you!
Haha i purified some clay out of my backyard on impulse and I realized i dont have any immediate plans for it yet XD this came in for the clutch
Happy to help just check on it here and there to make sure it’s holding up.
Will the clay grow mold stored like this?
loved your video. How long can you store using this method?
Depends on how wet the clay is and how thick the plastic. If you use big lawn and leaf bags you get so many layers and the plastic is thicker. And then your environment affect that too. My midwest basement in summer is so humid. I’ve stored it for a semester with ease but I always check on it every few weeks.

In this video you have a big amount of clay . What do i do if have much less? Does it keep it from drying??
It will still work. I would added a small damp paper towel around. But it’d it’s smaller you’ll get extra layers of plastic. It will work just done 👍
Hi bro ! I liked your video very much... But can you pls tell me how to store kids coloured funclay ? I can't store it in just one bag or one box as it's coloured
If it was me I would just wrap it in paper towels by color
And put it all in the same bag.
@@CeramicJim oh ya... Thanks bro 👍
What clay is this?
how do I keep my unfinished ceramic clay sculpture malleable? Does covering it with plastic keeps it moist?
Yes. Plastic and spray water every now and then.
Ceramic Jim Thank you, it helps a lot😊
I’m embarrassed to say that my inner monologue during this video was “wow.” And that’s not sarcasm. Simple solutions really empress me 😅
One of the best tips I ever learned

Im mainly just looking for a easy way to store that silly wire cutter it's always a mess
actually i make mine
You make your own clay? Good for you. I do too 💪💪🧐😎
i called your school did they get. a hold of you let Don in ca
You know they did. I got the message in the middle of figuring out all of this crazy E learning for students. I’ll reply.
I tried emailing and it didn’t go through
I have small clay what i can do 😣
I’m not sure I understand.
Its become stone now😅😅
You can smash it to pieces then add some water. Let it soak a bit then pour off extra water and let the clay dry a bit and thicken.
@@CeramicJim ty but i don't have clay storage so it dry evertime
Hmm. That’s tough. Towels and a bucket. Even a plastic container could work.
