A fresh batch of clay means it’s time for batch testing!

After each batch, we take a sample straight from the pugmill to check drying shrinkage, fired shrinkage and absorption.

Just one of the ways we make sure our clay stays as consistent as possible from batch to batch 🤎

Welcome to Tips with Tyler! First up: clay lamination!

All pugged clays laminate to some extent, so here’s your reminder to always wedge your clay before use. This helps remove those laminations and homogenise the clay, giving you a more consistent material to work with 😊
