<p>I try to limit my scraps. When trimming, all the clay bits used, esp. for holding pots etc, goes into a plastic bag I keep by my wheel. Any left overs from handbuilding goes into that bag as well and I then add a bit of water. Why slake all this down and wedge it when all it needs now is somewhat limited wedging. It really helps to save my shoulders.</p>
