Before I got sick, I'd been waiting for 40 lbs of recycled B-Mix kin a pillowcase to dry out enough to wedge. It took FOREVER. I wasn't even worried about having to stay out of the studio for two weeks. Well, I went in to wedge it last night ... it was hard as a rock and I have to start over.

Good to hear that you are feeling better. Not so good that your clay isn't cooperating

Haha! Thank you, I've been madly glazing and shipping tocatch up. When I carved into the huge mass, it was still leathery about 1/2" under the surface, so I have hopes that if I wrap it in soaked towels for a few days that will reconstitute the outside and I can start wedging.

You might be able to cut and slam at this point to even things out. I find the pillowcase method doesn't dry as evenly as I'd like it to, but it does have some other convenient points.
