Clay trap - how to clean it

Clay traps are located underneath each of the sinks at the Ceramics shop. They must be cleaned once a month, or whenever the little see-through window looks completely dark. Here is a step by step on how to do it:

1) Find the plastic strong bags marked Clay traps in the storage room (either Kiln shelf or Shop Consumables)

2) Underneath the sink, find the clay traps and unscrew the 4 butterfly screws. Get rid of excess of water before trying to lift the bucket or take bag out of the bucket, because it may overflow and it will become to heavy and hard to close;
