ℹ️ About this video
This video shows how I approach a new source of wild clay to determine whether it is good for making pottery and how best to process it. Taking you through the entire process of testing and evaluating clay from collecting a new clay in the field to testing the clay for plasticity, calcium and shrinkage, through tempering and forming a small pinch pot.
