Finding and processing wild clay is one of those skills that’s almost impossible to learn from books alone. You need someone to show you what to look for in the field, and that’s exactly what this course does.
People reach out to me all the time asking how to get started with native clay. That demand is why I created this masterclass.
You’ll start with the fundamentals: what clay actually is, how it forms, and the different kinds of deposits you’ll encounter. Then we go outside. Through video, I’ll take you across the American Southwest to more than 20 real clay beds. You’ll see the landscape, the clues, and the differences between promising material and clay that isn’t worth processing. This is the part that’s hardest to get on your own: standing next to the deposit while someone explains what you’re looking at. After that, we’ll cover processing so the clay is ready for hand-building or throwing.
By the end of the course, you’ll know how to locate and process wild clay with confidence—anywhere in the world.
