Keeping moist clay moist sounds like the real problem here. Easy solutions posted above.
I dig and mix my own clay. Not counting digging, hauling, crushing, and sieving (if only all that could be done by faeries), it still isn’t economical. If you’re trying to save dollars look somewhere else. Having premixed moist clay delivered to your door is the pinnacle of economy.
If, on the other hand, you share my mental disorder, one that is relieved only by making one’s own clay body, knock yourself out. You won’t need a health club membership, so you’ll save a little money there.
I wouldn’t discourage it if you have the right equipment, but will reiterate that it’s not economical to mix clay from raw materials until you’re doing at huge scale or have a very peculiar special body. I think everyone should try it once, then you can know.
Lol came on here to see where I could possibly buy dry clay and how economical it would really be and found someone who shares the same mental instability as me....Lol! I laughed at that statement. I dig my own as well and your right. It is a lot of work but there's something about getting your hands in the process from the very beginning all the way through right?
