"So if you make your own glazes and you buy dry materials in large quantities like I do, it's a really good idea to have a where to store these where you're not going to have dust going everywhere and you're not going to have a pile of bags sitting on top of each other that you have to dig through, in order to find whatever dry material it is that you're looking for. So what I do is once I have opened up a fifty pound bag like this and used some of the material, I put the remaining amount of the material into a five gallon plastic bucket, and then I mark each bucket with whatever material it is that I've got. So you can see here I've got my custer, feldspar, my nephilim, cyanide, my EPK, and everything is in a bucket like this, including my ball clay that I sometimes use to wedge dry clay, I mean wet clay, back into a dry enough state to use. And this is just a really good way to keep your dry materials out of the way and keep the dust down in your studio."
