Spent the last couple weeks slowly processing the big chunks of native clay from our latest dirt load from this:

Into this!

Excited to try tempering it this week or next after the last batch is sufficiently dry. It’s much too fine to be strained by any thickness of cloth I have laying around, so I’ve been taking advantage of the heat wave to evaporate it down after washing and decanting it into large litter boxes/totes.

I look for botanical treasure because I use it to decorate my Forest Folk creations. There’s an example of what I mean at the end of this post. Sometimes I find things as soon as I step out of the house, but this…

Test Firing the Native Clay - Failure and Success

Test Firing the Native Clay – Failure and Success

Yesterday I posted about cleaning the native clay and the test firing I planned to do once they dried out enough.

I’m too impatient. I should have waited another day, maybe even longer because the clay was pretty wet when I first worked the little ball and circle.

They exploded to smithereens almost as soon as I put them in the coals.

Plan B

So, I pulled out the first test ball I’d made a while…
