It can be extremely frustrating. The good news is that you don’t need to lose the clay. This short video shows you how to reclaim clay from a pot you just tried to throw.

One quick note: This method will not work if you mix dry clay with wet clay. Mixing trimming scraps with throwing scraps requires a more involved process. I will post a video demonstrating this process in a few weeks.
