Скачать или смотреть Pugmills - What they are, how they work, and do you need one?

https://www.oldforgecreations.co.uk/b...

Short answer: I definitely don’t think they’re an essential purchase, or even a sensible purchase, for most people. They’re a significant investment and they only make sense in a context where that investment can realistically be repaid.

It makes sense to invest in a pugmill if at least some of the following conditions apply:

You process a lot of clay
You would prefer not to wedge by hand
You don’t use many different clay bodies
Your studio is big enough to accommodate it
You can afford it without sacrificing the purchase of a more versatile piece of equipment
You have a physical issue which makes wedging harder and/or means you want to adjust the consistency of your purchased clay to be easier to work

It wouldn’t make sense to purchase a pugmill if the following apply:

You don’t use much clay
You have no issue with wedging by hand
You use multiple clay bodies regularly
You have a small studio with no spare space
There are other important pieces of equipment you need to purchase first
You are happy with the typical consistency of the clay you buy
