Storage facilities can help you keep pottery in the best condition
Storage facilities in Midland NC are ideal for storing pottery clay. It was simple enough to put our modeling clay back in the tiny canisters when we were kids. There was really no harm done, and there always appeared to be more accessible at home or at school if we didn't do it exactly right and some dried out.  However, adults who still enjoy sculpture and have progressed to working with pottery clay have found that the task of keeping their clay for later use has grown more challenging.

Here are some expert recommendations for storing pottery clay.

Preventing stored clay from drying out
This issue has been encountered by pottery clay artists, instructors, and studio owners, leading to the development of numerous remedies. One of the best solutions is to pack your clay properly in the appropriate bag and seal it. However, it also helps to devise a mechanism to keep it secure, out of the path of extreme heat or cold, especially direct sunshine, and in a location where it won't be readily disturbed or harmed.

Some experts advise opening the bags on a regular basis and giving them a quick spritz with a spray bottle. Although fundamental moisture is strengthened, structural issues are still not likely to result from this. Another suggestion is to add a little vinegar to your water to help the clay work a little bit easier. Instead of spraying water over a large block of clay, think about poking a few holes in it and filling them with water. This can guarantee that both the inside and the outside remain moist. The bag should then be resealed, with any remaining air squeezed out, and placed in its storage location.

Storing clay in dry form
Consider storing your wet clay in its dry form if you are unable to do so effectively or don't want to worry about maintaining and hydrating it on a regular basis. Fortunately, the same suggestions for storing wet clay apply here: use clear plastic bags with tight closures. This prevents the growth of mold and mildew by keeping excess moisture out. Considering that your entire batch of clay is dry, thorough rehydration is necessary. Starting over might be a good idea rather than attempting to determine which portions of a previous batch were dryer or damper.
