Clay wedging is the act of preparing clay for the pottery wheel in order throw your pottery. wedging is accomplished by kneading the clay, usually on a plaster surface, until the clay is uniform in moisture and texture. Some potters like to cut the mass of clay and slap it down hard on the surface and then slap the 2 pieces of clay together with force. The idea is to get rid of any air bubbles and to make the mass of clay evenly moist. This will help the potter to form the clay on the wheel with interference of trapped air bubbles or hard lumps of clay which will cause the piece to be uneven. Also, air bubbles can explode when the piece is fired, especially if the piece is not bone dry.
Henry Clay was able to navigate compromises that for a time helped keep the Union intact.
ancient sumerian clay tablets were made of mud, water. the writing was made up of wedge shaped symbols. also, only scribes knew how to make the clay tablets and how to write on them.
Yes the amount of preservative and vingar they put in that stuff should keep it for longer than that.
Technically, no. If it is a regular, water based clay, you can just add water if it gets too dry. Clay is porous, and will soak in that water and come back to a workable state over time. Just keep it in plastic. If you have created something and that gets to the bone dry state, it will be very difficult to get it back to workable consistency without breaking down the integrity of the piece.
Debbie Meyer Green bags! You can find them at CVS or you could order them from the TV.They really do work.
You keep clay fresh by making sure no air gets to it. You can do this by wrapping it in plastic or wax paper.
Yes, it is, or else the clay will be dry and unworkable.
No, but there is clay in the ground if you keep digging you could find some!
Keep tomatoes at room temperature, in one layer. Every day turn them over to rest on the other side and check for soft spots or splits. Use those immediately. To chill place in the refrigerator for an hour or so, longer causes the flavor to deteriorate.
Tomatoes prefer well-draining soil that is rich in organic matter. The ideal soil for tomatoes has a slightly acidic pH level between 6.0 and 6.8. It is important to avoid heavy clay soils that can retain too much moisture and hinder root development.
Put them in a greenhouse and zip it up but keep on watering and checking on them.
Think if it like clay, if the clay dries out it gets crumbly, but if you keep the clay moist, it stays together.
Well, it depends on the condition of the tomato. Fresh tomatoes will start to deteriorate a few days after being left on a shelf. Make sure the lid on a canned tomato is completely sealed. Tomatoes are perishable. That is, their lifespan is short and they will parish very quickly. Store them in a cool place with no humidity, and they will last longer.
12/18 hours
to keep it fresh longer you have to put it in the refrigarator
No. If tomatoes are moldy, they cannot necessarily be salvaged by cooking. Some molds produce toxins that will not be destroyed by cooking. Since one wouldn't know which mold is growing, one should not risk using moldy tomatoes - or anything else that has unexpectedly grown some mold.
