【やり方】粘土の再生

Hello, I'm Shinobu Hashimoto, a pottery master in Sapporo. Today, I'm going to show you how to regenerate clay. I'm sure there are a lot of people who make pottery at home. When you make pottery at home, you get a lot of clay, such as shavings. I'm going to show you how to do that. Basically, you can regenerate clay as many times as you want. It's hard to throw away the shavings, so it's better to regenerate it. It's good for the environment, and it's good for your wallet. It's a little subtle. When we work, it's hard to decide whether it's cost-effective to regenerate clay or not. It might be cheaper to throw away the clay and buy a new one than to regenerate it. It takes a lot of time to regenerate. In the case of professionals, it's a little subtle, but I think it's better to regenerate it for those who do it as a hobby. It's a scraper. If it's in a state before it dries, you can put it on a wet cloth and leave it as it is. I think you can regenerate it as it is. I think you can make it soft again and re-knead it, but once it's a little dry, it's a little difficult to re-knead it. I'll dry it all like this once. You have to dry it until it's dry. It's a scraper, so it dries quickly. If you leave it for a few days, I usually store it in a bigger one and spread it out on a blue sheet and dry it. If it's a small amount, you can put it in a bag and leave it for a day or two. First of all, it's in this dry state. I'm going to put this in a bucket. You can put water on it first. I'm gonna put water in here. You can put water on it first. I'm so proud of it right now. It's better to put water on it than dust. I'll put it here. I'm going to put water in here just enough to soak I have to warn you don't mix water if you mix water here it will be lumpy and it will be hard to play I'm going to leave it It's better if I leave it for a day It might not take a day but I'll leave it I won't touch it I'm going to leave it It's been a day I left it for a day I'm going to strain it today Let's take a look at the inside It looks like this Can you see it? I didn't touch it since yesterday I just left it I think it's almost melted I'm going to move it to this tray to make it easier to work I mixed it I wish I had two buckets I only had one bucket It's pretty rough If you don't have a lot of water, it won't be rough The work after this is fast But if the work to strain is too hard, it's hard to do If you take time, it will dry up I think it's okay if it's a little rough when you play I'll put it in here Why do I put it in here? I'm going to strain it with this colander It fits well I wanted to use this bucket It's okay if you don't have this It's easy to use This is a colander I'm looking for a good-looking eye size when I go to a home improvement store I think the roughness of the eyes depends on the soil you use The soil I use is quite rough If you use a fine colander, If you use a fine colander, the roughness of the clay will disappear I'm looking for a good-looking eye It doesn't have to be a colander, it can be anything I think it's good to choose depending on the soil you use If you don't use a colander, there will be garbage There is garbage and hair In some cases, stones are mixed I'll use a colander It's easy because the amount is small I usually use a big barrel I use a drill to make a hole It's easy with this amount It's better to make it visible If this work is not rough, it will be quite difficult If you make it rough like this, it's relatively easy But there are some lumps left But if you press it with a drill, it will be crushed I think it's good There is some large sand left It's better to use a colander Do you understand? There is also a big stone I strained it After straining, I'll dry it I usually make a pot like this This is also for regenerating clay I'll put a cloth here I'll put it in here I'll just wait for it to dry I'll leave it for a few days In winter, it takes about a month In summer, it takes a long time But I don't have a pot like this at home What should I do in such a case? I think a colander is good I'll put it on the colander I'll do it with this clay pot You can put a bat or something underneath and let the water leak I'll pour it in Like this If it looks like this I'll do it in a house pattern Bat You can put a big pot Anything is fine If you can put it outside If you have a garden You can put it outside At that time I'll tighten it like this Otherwise, dust and insects will get in If you can't put it outside I think it's okay like this You can hang it like this Put it in a bag Hang it When it dries, it becomes clay When it becomes a good hardness You can knead it as it is and repaint it That's all The cloth I use This is a river If it's 100 years old, it will be eaten by the bacteria of the clay It will be torn It won't last long The cloth used for clay is Anyway, it's a river Maybe it's not good if it's 100 years old What is this? It's a sheet or something I've been using this for about 15 years I've been using it for a long time On the other hand Cloth like 100 years old I want to eat insects It will be tattered It's the same even if you wrap it in clay So I use a river-like one as much as possible I don't know what's good It's like this I think it's good to play clay like this I think I'll end here today Thank you for watching until the end Please look forward to the next video Bye bye
