Clay is a naturally occurring material composed primarily of fine-grained minerals. Clay deposits are mostly composed of clay minerals, a subtype of phyllosilicate minerals, which impart plasticity and harden when fired or dried; they also may contain variable amounts of water trapped in the mineral structure by polar attraction. Organic materials which do not impart plasticity may also be a part of clay deposits.

When cleaning up clay after using a pottery wheel- is it safe to wash clay down the drain?
Q. I put the large chunks of clay in my slurry bucket, but what about the small bits that inevitably wash down the sink during cleanup? Is this a problem? Could it clog my drain? Is there a special filter for clay only? I have a small shop sink in my studio that I use.
Asked by mbushatz - Mon Mar 3 14:38:52 2008 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments

A. If you can make a receptable for your sink. It is basically a big bowl of water with a drain near the top. Your clay, and all the other solids will sink, the chemicals will rise to the top of the water where they can evaporate, (if you use oil-based paints they will float on the top of the water for you to clean away.) There should be plans on the web. Clay will clog your drain, and a filter will not work, as the clay particles are too small. Added: I was trying to find the link of that post by meeny mo, this is what I found, would work too: But you would have to clean out the upper bucket after each use, to prevent it getting clogged.

What animal should I make my clay whistle sculpture in art?
Q. I have never used clay before, so I need an easy clay animal to make. I must make a whistle out of clay and then turn it into an animal. For example, somebody made a whistle and then sculpted a dragon around it. You blow into its tail and the whistle sound comes out of its mouth. If you don't get it, just tell me some animals that will be easy to make out of clay. I think it will be approximately 12cm long.

A. a cat or a turtle. a snail would be pretty easy too since snails are somewhat shaped like a whistle anyway

What is a good clay mask that actually extracts the gunk & gets rid of blackheads?
Q. I'm talking about the kind of clay mask where results can be seen within on average 20 minutes or so. You can actually see the gunk extracted from the pores. I need it mainly for my nose. This is where I have most problem. Thanks. It would be preferable to list products I can buy from a drug store such as boots or superdrug etc. Thanks.

A. I have never heard or tried clay mask that extracts blackheads automatically, you have a few options that I've used- Pore Strips, Blackheadmask, and egg and toilet paper mask-Before you use any method, I would recommend that you STEAM your face first. Be careful though. Get a pot, fill it half way with hot water, get it to boil. shut off the stove, and place your face above the steam. Again, be careful. You can also get a towell, soak it in hot water, and cover your face with it. Just make sure it's not hot enough to burn your skin.Then, do whatever treatment you want to do. After the treatment/strip/mask- Rinse your face with cold water, then close your pores with either 1.salicylic Acid, or 2. Benzoyl Peroxide/acne medication 3. Sulfur ( [cont.]
