A clay body is created by mixing clays, fluxes, and fillers, each of which plays a role in determining characteristics such as plasticity, shrinkage, firing temperature, texture, absorption, color.

The delight of this process is that you can play around with formulation and design clay bodies for different functional and aesthetic objectives.

We can go outside,

dig some wild clay

with our hands

and create with it!♥

It’s a beautiful way to nurture a closer connection to the pieces you make and the Earth itself.

It is also about creativity and lessening your carbon footprint in the process.
