The clay will slowly slake down. Drain off the extra water and spread out on clean wood, canvas or plaster to dry to the proper water density. If large amounts are to be reclaimed, we recommend a pug mill. Porcelains are the hardest to reclaim because of fine clay loss during throwing and the extreme density of grolleg kaolin, which settles and hardens at the bottom. Add a little fresh grolleg to the mix when reworking porcelain or ball clay with others.

Yes, and the main answer is in nature itself. Prepared clay bodies are composed of various clays mined in several locations throughout the world.
