This is exactly what my ex bf was explaining to me when I asked him the other day abouthow to do this. It's amazing how exceptionally well this video brought that explanation to life, funny that clay works that way. Love the video guys, thank you 😊

Can I eat it if I bake it to clean any bacteria in it? This is a real legitimate question

How many pounds did you throw this with ?

Funfact: Even today in india girls of small villages use pond clay as a shampoo and still they have the most gorgeous hair(long black wavy shiny)

Inspired by Florian right? Not saying you are, but never become a copycat brother. Getting inspired is important but always mix it with your own style. Love the info with polishing it with the ribs. Often times it's not mentioned but I think it's so important. Keep up the great work man

good so far

2nd! Also a 2 years later-

6:23 Nice bong bro

A technique I do is to dig a hole, line it with two layers of paper towels and pour my slurry in it. 5 hours later I have workable clay.

I see a theme of the type of men who do this stuff…. They’re FAAAAAAAABULOUUUUSSSSSSSSS Weaksauce.

I wish i could do that

Bro thank you for showing how you harvested it. I’m new to this and this is just what I needed, been picking at some spots close by and digging holes, but i know exactly where to go now. I live by a creek bed so I’ve been getting decent stuff but if I hike a bit down it there is flowing water, excited to try it

He’s got nice big hands

You really ripped it in his face💀

Im in N.Texas our clay is heavy and red all around the dirt from 3inches down all the way down to who knows theres a ton around me and in all the yards ive been in around here.. i bet the creeks are filled

Processing clay video lasted about 2:20 not very informative.

That’s a beautiful white clay. Thanks to all the volcanic activity where I’m at we get red clay here. But yes as others have stated, grind that cup down into powder and add it to temper the remaining clay harvested. Any clay you harvest yourself will always have to be tempered. The amount you temper depends on the clay though. So you’ll have to experiment. I suggest some simple tiles or drink coasters in order to find your ratios and to minimize clay use while maximizing testability.

I didn’t hear or see details about the bisque or glaze firing temperature. Is this clay low-fire earthenware or high-fire stoneware? At what point in the process can you make that assessment and how would you do it? This is a thorough video on the separation mechanics, but I would like more technical details on the clay body evaluation. Thanks, good job.

Awesome stuff - the editing alone is chefs kiss

I’m just wondering why you didn’t add temper? Was it an experiment to see if you could get wild clay with enough temper mixed in already? I’m curious about your process. 👍

does anyone buy processed clay?

Wow, watching this, that’s my life !

your lack of any explanation SUCKS!

I love how they went through the whole damn process to just make one good cup that ended up cracking. WELP! *wheels kiln back inside like an old man*

What an ending 😂🤙🏼 I dig it

Useful information. Thank you.

Weeks later??? If thats how long you are waiting for the slip to become workable clay, you are doing it all wrong. Here's another tip. Make 2 plaster slabs 2'×4'×4in (thick). Dry the slabs of plaster for a 2-4 days in the sun or heat or at the very least put a fan to it. Design the slabs to have a wooden border at least 2 to 3 inches higher than the plaster itself. Pour the slip onto one slab and let the plaster absorb the water out the clay. This can take 20 minutes to 3hrs depending on wetness and weather. Its far faster than weeks. Put a fan to it, lay in the sun, or leave 6 feet from a hot kiln to speed up the process. (Do not put under or too close to a kiln because plaster can explode especially when soaked with water.)Use one slab at a time. When the first slab is in a malleable state, scrape off with a wide puddy knife and its ready to wedge. While this slab dries, use the already dry slab and repeat the process. I hope this helps.

😂😂😂 im sorry man but smashing the leather hard clay is not the most efficient way to do this. Let it get bone dry as is. Then throw the big chunks straight into buckets of water. No need for smashing. Theyll crumble and turn into slip in minutes. The quick absorption of water breaks up the dry clay body easily. You still may have to use a paint mixer to get rid of lumps but its still faster than smashing hard clay with a hammer. Work smarter not harder. Use your extra time to do gather more clay, work on other projects, etc.

Literally amazing

Nice 🙂

Very helpful video do you mind sharing what that foldable tool is called that you used at the beginning

Also!! Tap the base of your piece as you go to sort of feel the thickness of your new and prone to carving holes in the bottom

We had feet powered pottery wheels. Glad my kids won't have to peddle their projects. america! Gfy Go friend yourself

@1:40 Is that a cheesecloth? Old Tshirt? What manner of mesh is ideal for this step?

You can also mix the powder with aluminum powder

For anyone wondering, clay can be harvested from just about any dirt; but best harvested near any stream/ water source; even on the banks from flooding. This is due to the water bringing the light mineral clay deposits to the surface consistently. Happy harvesting! 😊

👍

Good video 👍

That whole intro is perfect

This was very useful thank you for the tip
