Sorry I missed it live... I was busy mixing up some wild clay!
-
Thought I misfired. Why I didnt expect a wild clay guy to wear the funkiest shirt...
-
What an awesome shirt!
-
Hey Andy. At 18:55 Lisa Walker asked about making clay more plastic. One ancient method used in both Europe and Asia (don't know about the Americas) was to reconstitute with boiled starch water. The boiling plasticises the starch molecules. It does work too.

You gotta make a pot with that shirt pattern on it... it would be wild.
-
Like the hippy shirt!
-
Ive heard that green clay called marine clay by one of the local potters down here. We have some down here that is blue gray colored

Hi Andy, you mentioned the old Sonoita highway as a good place to find clay. Is that by the Steakout (grill and saloon in Sonoita)? Back around 2013 - 2016 I had to go to Nogales quite often for work and we'd always go have steak there when we got a chance. (I am not from Arizona, so I had to fly in... wonder if they would've let me take a few pounds of clay on the plane...)

Gratidão ❤❤

Andy, You have used a very long fine brush in your vids where can I find this or better how are they made? I made one with horse tail hair but not as good as yours. Regards
-
Fantastic! Love your videos. Any chance you would consider showing us a step by step of processing one of your wild clays? Keep up the awesome work!🎉

I am trying to buy a infrared thermometer gun - most don't go over 600 C. Which one do you suggest? I know you had a site where you showed the link Also: the corn mill
-
At say water edges ok?
-
👍
-
Can you make a video about slat glazing
-
in road construction you don't actually want clay so its probably native material that's been excavated
