Unaker - Now what?

Below you'll see me with my score of white clay. Great, but now what? I did some research and came up with a plan. While the balls look like they are all clay, they have a large amount of sand trapped in them. So to separate the sand from the clay I do the following;

• Soak the dry clay in water to make it into a slurry
• Thin the slurry down so that the sand can settle in the bottom of the bucket.
• Pour the good water (with clay suspended) into something so the water can be removed.

I decided to use some small flower boxes and pieces of bed sheet. This allows the water to drip out over time leaving me with clay.

Lots of sand. This is what's left behind after I pour off the clay water:

Here's the clay drying up:

Finally, here's a small vase made with the clay:
