Dispose of Clay Water With This 5 Gallon Bucket Filtration System

How do you clean your studio, tools, and hands if you don't have a clay and porcelain trap set up with your sink?

Use this 5 gallon bucket method to save your sinks from getting clogged with clay build up.

What you will need to get at least
1. 3 or 4, 5 gallon buckets: from your local hardware store or Home Depot. You may get lucky and find them curbside on recycling days, I've heard bakeries have them as well and dispose of them during recycling days. They're cheap at Home Depot and you don't need to buy the lid.
2. A Drill, and 1/2" drill bit
3. Pillow case. Not the jersey t-shirt material. 100% cotton woven.

Watch the video and lmk if you have any questions and or suggestions.

You can use this method to recycle your clay from the disposed water, however I recommend not mixing the recycled batch with floor mopped clay water. Does that make sense? Otherwise you risk other non-clay particles getting mixed into the intended recycled clay. ie hair... not fun to throw with.
