Harvesting and Processing BEACH CLAY!

Went to the beach and found a nice little pile of beach clay, decided to harvest and process it! A fun little quarantine project. :)

I can smell it just by looking at it! My cousins & I loved collecting clay from the beach as kids. We’d make things out of it & dry them in the sun. Such sweet memories...

Did you have to add temper? Or is the sand from the beach enough? Great video, thank you!

Ive never seen that before, very interesting. Thanks for sharing

Many thanks for this wonderful video. Is the beach clay good to make pretty, because it is salted so are the pots going to crack?

I have another video, “Glaze Firing Beach clay” where you can see how they turned out! Lots of cracking, most of the pots did not make it through the initial fire, but 2 did! But honestly I really don’t know a lot about pottery, so I know I probably made a ton of mistakes

I guess you could fix that by adding dry straw or leaves into the mix :)

Looks like a good amount of sand in that clay...
