This is part one of four videos I will make showing digging, preparing and testing clay to throw on the wheel. Video's two and three aren't finished yet.
Thanx for the demo. I've wanted to go out and mine my own for a long time. Your screen idea is totally cool. I know where there is a layer of red clay that I once got stuck in. It is about 6 inches below the surface and is slicker than snot. I'm heading out this weekend and take some samples. Thanx again for getting the bug back awake in me for ceramics. It's been an awfully long time.
You've definitely inspired me to attempt to dig my own clay at least once. Nothing sounds as satisfying as having a piece of pottery that you personally dug out of the earth yourself!
Heard the wind chimes in the background and thought they were mine! Oh how I love them and great video! I’m in the midst of processing my own as well. Found some while fishing last year. Only just now getting to it during quarantine. Could’ve used that paint stirrer lol had to do all that by hand.
I made something similar to your homemade sieve, but instead of duct tape I placed the screen onto an electric griddle and placed the bucket on top of it. The plactic gets fused into the mesh, and is not coming loose.
i have an idea, you can take the clay you gather from wherever, and soak it in a very large amount of water, agitate the mix and let it settle, the clay particles will stay in the water much longer than sand and rocks will, when the undesirable material settles, you can remove the excess water with the clay still floating in it and distill the water out to get pure plastic clay from any dirt source
Any of you guys ever heard of white clay? My father was a treasure hunter when he was still alive and one man came to him to consult what he found when he was manually digging for an artesian well. It was white clay.
Sorry so late but white clay is called Kaolin clay. It's a lot of that in Georgia, S.Carolina and NC. It's used for many reasons some people even eat it.
sometimes you find fossils and arrow heads?? what is this runescape?? haha joking :) Thats pretty amazing thou, free clay! I wish i could find a nice secluded spot to dig for some but in the city its kinda hard.
I have orange clay on/in my land and have started to follow your preparation routine,Q everyone accepts clay is sticky,but why is it ?? If I walk through the wet clay,I end up with 20lb boots, Great information videos,thanks from Western Australia
+Poppys Bench That just means that it is probably clay. After prep and drying it shouldn't be so sticky. You can always add some coarser fire clay or some fine sand to temper it but try it alone first.
Hey where are you at there Poppy? I'm watching this because I want to extract some clay around Pemberton, where the soil is loamy and full of it! There's even local roads named after clay deposits!
I dug up a lot of clay towards the end of summer. I have two garbage cans full of dry clay and a few 5 gallon buckets of wet processed clay. Now, the first bucket of clay (hole site #1) has a bad stench, very similar to sewage. I know that this is impossible because I dug the clay out in the middle of prairie hills. The 2nd site is mostly grey clay. I thought that it might be gleysols but I'm not sure. The grey clay is very plastic. The 3rd site is mostly a red iron oxide color and very gritty.
I am making a furnace for casting metal. How can you tell if it can stand high temperature. Or is there something to add to make it be able to handle high temperature?
I'm digging a hole on the side of my home, the close off a small hole created by some rusted nail... And damn... The clay... The clay isn't dry. The clay moisturised and compact... It's though to dig through clay.
Hello, I hope you can help me with a dilema I have. I retrieved some clay that was dug by the city in the street about 15 feet deep. It is gray clay and seemed very pure. At my first attempt at sculping, I made a very nice piece, but now know from watching your video that I should have screened the clay. How do I fire the piece without risking breakage now that it most likely contains small rocks and other organnic material? Also, can you tell me what happens to pieces made with clay that has dirt mixed in and how can you separate the dirt from the clay? Thank you very much.
Bout a year late but if you naturally put fire the piece with wood as a fuel source, I can't guarantee it will be a success but it has a higher chance to make it out in that type of firing

i dug up some clay and made slip clay. however, a very foul stench developed after adding water, mixing it, and letting it sit in an sealed bucket. is this normal?
organic matter is the reason for the stagnant pond smell. you might run it through a fine screen before letting it sit. no need to seal it, i don't think. you are going to be pouring off water until it gets to be just clay with the needed water content
You have duct tape- find stick. Affix platform for camera onto stick with duct tape (maybe use part of a bucket and more tape or sticks). Poke stick into ground and point toward the work. WHOOT two hands free! Edit. HTH! ;-P
The camera CCD protects itself by blocking out (blacking out or ignoring) any light with a certain strength. It also allows you to get an image in really bright light.
You can use a stick or a paddle to mix the clay. It will take longer but it will work just the same. If you are mixing by hand pulverizing the clay more before adding water will help.Try putting the dry clay in a pillowcase or similar cloth bag and beat it with a stick.
He sounds amazing. That voice that tells awesome bedtime stories
3:54 "Its difficult not to lick your fingers here!" lol THat is a good one….He's the Bob Ross of clay…I think its the voice
@Lazaro Barthel ya........ that’s not a healthy relationship. Is this a joke?
I like your method of instruction. You are like the Bob Ross of clay👍
Thanx 4 Sharing, u have inspired me, 2 dig up some clay......

Really really wonderful piece of art!!!! Was pleasure to watch.

I eat the clay!!!😋😋😋😋
I made something similar to your homemade sieve, but instead of duct tape I placed the screen onto an electric griddle and placed the bucket on top of it. The plactic gets fused into the mesh, and is not coming loose.
You have inspired me. Also, great little screen design.
i love eat clay so much
Your video is right on the money, just what I was looking for. I like your junk art vids as well.
Always pan out your heavies. You'll be shocked how much gold I've recovered over the years just making clay.
What?
Wut??
This is a great video. i'm really glad you put it out there cause I'm trying to find a source of clay for natural building. Thanks!
This is AWESOME 👏👏👏

Great demonstration! I did this but not with the wondrous screen you made! I am so glad you told how you made it!
Awesome video man. Simple yet informing.
Thank you for the information
I like the screen method. Need to make one.
Great video and explanation, thank you for sharing.
Excellent! But I can't find part 2!
"eewwww, nice."

Reminded me of the dirt cookies videos.
for your screen, just wrap it over the top of the bucket and tie with nylon cord.
sometimes you find fossils and arrow heads?? what is this runescape?? haha joking :) Thats pretty amazing thou, free clay! I wish i could find a nice secluded spot to dig for some but in the city its kinda hard.
Fossils is a normal thing.
For arrowheads, that depends on where you pick the clay up.

Legal! retirou toda impureza, vou fazer assim tambem, valeu.
Thanks for the video!
I wanna know if the clay we knows as nzu we eat?
At 4:43 he apologizes to us for the wind. If any of you felt the breeze, then you have telepathic powers.
THE bane of too many YT vids (and too much background music-bane #2)
you can add same bentonite (3% max) to make it plastic, or sand to make it into a scupltor body.
Great video thanks!
4:53 why is the sun black..
I found the schizo who doesn't understand CCD cameras!
bashpr0mpt that’s really rude don’t be an asshole
Y'all niggas argue about the dumbest shit
I am making a furnace for casting metal. How can you tell if it can stand high temperature. Or is there something to add to make it be able to handle high temperature?
Sand very fine sand .maybe some porcelain dust . Turn it into firebrick and you good
Bugger, you found no gold! LOL
Better luck next time but nice job with the clay :)
aw dude you're the Bob Ross of clay! I dig it! XD Thank you!
I like your voice.
I'm digging a hole on the side of my home, the close off a small hole created by some rusted nail... And damn... The clay... The clay isn't dry. The clay moisturised and compact...
It's though to dig through clay.
Just remember, if the ladies don't find you handsome, at least they'll find you handy.
well done...
it's a good video
I want to.make a clay oven of I went to the riverbanks and dig clay would that be ok to use or should it be tested like you did ?
"Made cake with that last night" ..hahaha
ive found a deposit of good clay at the river banks where i am making a earthen house!
Can you find clay in any area ?
That mixer would make some mean mashed potatoes

Where is this place?
i dug up some clay and made slip clay. however, a very foul stench developed after adding water, mixing it, and letting it sit in an sealed bucket. is this normal?
Probably contains sulfur. Was it a yellowish color?
organic matter is the reason for the stagnant pond smell. you might run it through a fine screen before letting it sit. no need to seal it, i don't think. you are going to be pouring off water until it gets to be just clay with the needed water content
same question here too
Any one watch in 2018
2019
Jose Duenas same so satisfied at the mixing part
I
O in 2019
what is the best sieve mesh size to produce a good clay ? eg sieve through 1 mm sized mesh pores ??
Hello im building a fondry and i need clay that can stand high heat does this work?
Did you ever find an answer? I need high fire clay too
darn no gold :)
For Pete's sake. Just pour it!
You have duct tape- find stick. Affix platform for camera onto stick with duct tape (maybe use part of a bucket and more tape or sticks). Poke stick into ground and point toward the work. WHOOT two hands free! Edit. HTH! ;-P
it would not be allowed to buy a tripod at the thrift shop
That was great clay
If it's difficult not to lick that off your fingers, you should have a cheeseburger because you must be hungry
what do you do with the clay?
Trevor Nash its tasty
Pause at 4:55 What is up with the sun? Is that a camera effect...?
The camera CCD protects itself by blocking out (blacking out or ignoring) any light with a certain strength. It also allows you to get an image in really bright light.
+jamnoise72 There also seems to be a sofa in that tree.
+Meanie010 oh my god you're right
jamnoise72 he filmed it during an eclipse
I love your accent
just for the title alone you get a like
LOL, buddy, you and I would get along just fine. You need a friend, to help you with the camera of course... TELL me you live in Billings Montana.

Can u eat it?
Shonette Hewitt
Depends but probably. Do you eat any of these -- _Dirt/Clay/Sand/Chalk/Soft Rocks/Clay Pottery?_
Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures was buried and rose again on the third day according to the scriptures 1Corinthians 15:3

at 3:20 you use a tool can i use something else than that incase of no power ?
You can use a stick or a paddle to mix the clay. It will take longer but it will work just the same. If you are mixing by hand pulverizing the clay more before adding water will help.Try putting the dry clay in a pillowcase or similar cloth bag and beat it with a stick.
