15lbs of recycled clay. This clay is a mixture of all the clay bodies used at the studio. Due to the nature in which our clay is recycled, the color and texture of the reclaim clay will vary slightly from batch to batch but it tends to have a light brown color and a small amount of speckles. Using our reclaim clay is good for the environment as you are supporting our recycling system which aims to reduce the amount of waste created by our studio. The price of the reclaim clay covers the cost of paying our studio techs to manage the recycling system.
