How to Extrude Clay

Video Transcript

"Okay, so I've got my chunk of clay that's perfectly fitted for my extruder, and I've got, check and make sure that your handle is lined up properly at the bottom. And then you just slip that chunk of clay right in, you take the plunger, got a little bit of excess on there from before, and you let that plunger in. And then you just push slowly on the handle. And you see I'm getting a handle shape. And then once I've got some out, I pull it off with my hand. You want to cradle it, to make sure that you don't mess it up, and then you just set it over here. And that will set up until you're ready to use it for making your handle. And you just continue this process until your extruder's empty. And if you have more handle made than you need, you can just save them for later. You can wrap them in plastic and use them for next time. They'll last indefinitely that way."
