I had the exact opposite experience some years ago. I made some bonsai pots from clay in my garden and gave them to an acquaintance to fire along woth her projects from store bought clay. Hers fired properly, mine were merely calcined and not sintered. So it depends on local geology and the type of clay in one's area. Test firing is probably advisable.
I’m not sure where you live but near where I live by the four corners where Colorado, Utah, Arizona and New Mexico collide, there’s some pretty amazing red clay dirt by the New Mexico reservations, definitely recommend. Sending love!
Have you NOT seen those Island wilderness videos where 2 guys dig into the ground and make shelters and huts and stuff? Channels (titled) such as: Jungle Survival or Mr.Heang Update ?? They make all sorts of wild jungle stuff.
So you don’t have to add anything to wild clay? I have good ball clay here and I was wondering if I should add anything to it. Hopefully I can figure it out. I have clay everywhere in my property and clay isn’t real cheap at the store.
Personaly am trying to see if anyonr has found the clay i have found its blue and was in a creek im going to do the bucket and straining method as well and see what happens !
Good for you. I'm pleased to see young people using natural resources
It is soooooo refreshing
Wild clay can melt in your kiln. Use a lower heat of 800° Celsius

Clay is the most common soil on earth! Its everywhere! Im looking forward to trying this too
You might add some temper to that clay depending on how you plan to fire it

Nice
This is awesome! I just started pottery.
So cool when you can connect to mother nature so directly in your craft ❤️
How exciting to find all natural stuff!! I could literally feel your excitement as it came into shape. 🥳 Great work!
A very unique hobby. I love it
Lovely! There is an Artist Retreat near me and it has naturally occuring clay along one of the streams on the property. How lucky for them!
Super neat! Looks good
🧤🧤
I hope you tempered or added sand or ground up pottery so that your piece does not crack while firing. Happy potting!
Awesome!
Wow, this is incredible. Awesome video :)
So good!!
Looks great!
I recently started doing the same things. I don't use a wheel though. Hand building is more my thing.
Good job~🥀,, Looks like Lot's of Fun~❣️
Nature is infinite source of beauty and resources ❤.
Beautiful.
Great place to harvest more clay in the future
THAT IS GORGEOUS!
That’s soooo cool!!
What is the slab your using to cure the clay?
It's a very, very ancient process using earth clay
That's awesome
Awesome ❤

Loooove thiiisss
Love this ❤
Did you fire it? Or did you let it air dry
Generally you have to do both, but in opposite order. Dry out, bisque fire, glaze, then fire.
I have a lot of wild clay at my house. Except it’s really warm out, and it’s drying out. Should I take it in and try to save it?
😮 ❤
do you have to disinfect wild clay I am guessing there is a bunch of bacteria in it
But the temper, where's the temper? 🥲 cool vid!
Just FYI, the account @creativepeopleart is posting your videos without giving you credit. Content jacking is not fair use ❤
