Best Answer

As long as clay is not fired, it can be recycled by simple soaking it in water. Eventually it will return to a liquid state (slip). You can then dry it to a workable condition by putting it on plaster slabs and then wedging it to homogenize the clay mass. To simplify the process and make a much more manageable clay, studios use pug mills which do the mixing and removing excess water and air for you.
