It’s okay if there’s a thin layer of water on top of the muddy clay water. Empty the contents of the first bucket onto the ground or into a trash can. Then, use a water hose or tap to rinse out the bucket until it’s clean. Don’t worry about soaping up the bucket. You’re just going to use it to rinse the clay again. At this point, the clay should be very watery. Set the bucket uncovered in a place it won’t be disturbed. Then, let it sit for at least 8 hours so that the water can evaporate away. Your clay will still be really runny after it sits out overnight. Open the fabric and lay the clay out on the ground. Use your hand to spread out the clay over the fabric so it suns evenly. Check the clay every 6-8 hours during daylight to see if it feels like it’s ready for pottery. Expect it to take about a day to reach the right consistency. It’s okay to start using your clay for pottery as soon as you’re happy with the consistency.
