Knowing how to find and process wild is a hard thing to learn without a teacher. I am contacted by people frequently about this so I know it’s a serious problem especially for those just getting started. In this course I will explain what clay is, how it is formed and what different types of clay deposits are out there. Then I will take you out into the field around the American Southwest to look at over 20 different natural clay beds. This is the kind of help that you need when starting out but is hard to find, seeing clay and being taught what to look for and how to tell if it is good. I will then cover how to process wild clay to make it usable for hand-building or throwing. When you are done with this course you will know how to locate and process native clay like a pro anywhere in the world.
