It&#8217;s made of standard cinderblocks and lined with some canvas. The canvas helps to keep everything fairly even, no dry edges and wet center. Pictured is when I had it with one side cloth, one side without, to see which worked better. The cloth side was the winner, hence the canvas.<\/p>\n<p>Since these pics were taken, I&#8217;ve reconstituted about 100kg of clay I got from Nishioka Koju&#8217;s supply. It&#8217;s a beautiful clay that should make some wonderful pots. If you&#8217;ve ever seen any of Koju san&#8217;s work, you have an idea of the type of clay. It&#8217;s a real treasure that I&#8217;ll probably never have again.<\/p>\n<p><a onblur=\"try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}\" href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/_KMbQ9CXSwic\/Sg4N8vRhE7I\/AAAAAAAAAmo\/ftwt3gndKDo\/s1600-h\/DSC03447_resize.JPG\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/_KMbQ9CXSwic\/Sg4N8vRhE7I\/AAAAAAAAAmo\/ftwt3gndKDo\/s200\/DSC03447_resize.JPG?w=1200\" alt=\"\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5336217945613865906\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><br \/><a onblur=\"try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}\" href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/_KMbQ9CXSwic\/Sg4N8frO7VI\/AAAAAAAAAmg\/SbORW0TmjS8\/s1600-h\/DSC03444_resize.JPG\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/_KMbQ9CXSwic\/Sg4N8frO7VI\/AAAAAAAAAmg\/SbORW0TmjS8\/s200\/DSC03444_resize.JPG?w=1200\" alt=\"\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5336217941426761042\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><br \/><a onblur=\"try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}\" href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/_KMbQ9CXSwic\/Sg4N8Z32K0I\/AAAAAAAAAmY\/JI8LNvxs3I4\/s1600-h\/DSC03443_resize.JPG\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/_KMbQ9CXSwic\/Sg4N8Z32K0I\/AAAAAAAAAmY\/JI8LNvxs3I4\/s200\/DSC03443_resize.JPG?w=1200\" alt=\"\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5336217939869051714\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I finally got off my butt and built a clay drying platform for my recycled slurry and stuff that I bring back from the mountain.
