Making Clay

❤😂🎉

Beautiful!

Good day mr Soares and hapy new year from Greece. I want to build a wood stove for my home, with fire bricks. Can I make fire bricks with this clay or I have to put something more? Thank you

Tony! Great videos by and about you and mud. I am retired, and took on primitive pottery among many "basic living skills" from just a 100 years ago. (I am no good at it yet.) A few years ago friends warned me that, "pottery is an expensive hobby." I haven't spent a dollar! We have great clays in AZ.

Nice! Thanks for sharing your knowledge

This video is fantastic. Your pottery is beautiful.

You have a nice voice very cool video

After you're done the final screening. I make a drop out of cloth anglet. Pour the solution through download it. And you'll be surprised how much more sand you'll get. Try it, see if it works.After

Thank you for sharing your knowledge with the community. I live in Ventura County and we got hit hard by the rains in Jan 2023. Right now, they've used bulldozers to clear the mud from the roads, and especially up by Red Mountain, there are piles and piles of the most beautiful red earth. It's not quite terracotta red, but has a slight eggplant tinge to it. Up on South Mountain in Santa Paula, down below an old ochre mine, the same thing. Piles of terracotta red earth, just on the road side. I think I'm gonna go get me some buckets and a shovel!

You look like you are part of the Minoan people! I was wondering if you have seen Minoan pottery? If you had Minoan blood.. I am always impressed by your work and to be honest it looks better than original pieces most of the time! Hope to see more videos from you in the future, I love the flint napping but the pottery is where my heart is...

Grand salutes to your hard work

Here in Nova Scotia our soil is mostly clay. Our lawn was dug up and i grabbed a handful of the earth and it squeezed into a ball . Feels like it wont take too much processing th make a nice clay body. Thanks for the inspiration.

When I hold a hand thrown pot I swear I can feel the energy of the maker .

Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience

Oh yea!

Thank you for taking the time to explain this to us. Much respect

I am concerned about using clay from around Salton Sea because it's so polluted. I hope you're avoiding that stuff too. Airborne gunk when it dries and turns to powder and can get into your lungs and then also when firing, it could also become vaporized and dangerous. Thanks for the inspiration, you're an amazing potter.

Is there a good reason for NOT re-cycling that used water to another container and reuse it , say, for soaking dried clay.? I just hate seeing water being wasted.

Thank you for sharing.

I love wild clay

Very n

Wow! Very impressed. Never made a pot. When I was a kid we did ceramics but that was long ago. I'm 58 y.o native.it's like calling me to give pottery a try.
Very few potters left. I am artistic in other ways. Yeah would like to see more of your work. Thank You for sharing.

Awesome stuff thanks

I really enjoyed this. Subscribed.

god work i will try this.

I love your work very much and very excellent.

A'HO!

Can't wait to try this! I'm gonna throw my buckets real hard!

Use vinegar as a seperator for water and clay .
Some real native knowledge 😁😁
Never heard of that trick

Bravo

It was great to see the final results; workable clay.

What's the use of bed sheet. Can you do without it.

I been looking for a video like this… I sculpt and like pottery and was just interested in knowing this but could t really find anything like this video so thank you

Anyone know if i can use coal as temper? Or how the traditional method of using flint flakes as temper was done?

I’m learning so much from your videos, so grateful and appreciative of your skill and talents. My brain and motivation is energized by your common science approach to teaching and sharing!
Giving me courage to try something totally new, I’m in Kindergarten stage of my learning about the versatility of the lovely mud.
I do have a .....I BELIEVE a simple QUESTION.....
Could sheet rock be used to line the clay slurry drying trough? If so should I peel the paper surface off the sheet rock or can it be left on?
Thank you and to anyone who may know the answer.
Happy digging

Excellent! Thank you so much for sharing.

Great clay Tony😊🇬🇧❤️

عالی بود

I DID enjoy the video...thank you for sharing your methods.

It's always a pure pleasure to see your precious tips on how to process clay my friend 👍
Many thanks from the bottom of my heart sir and gratitude 🙏..
Bless you.. 🌷

Nice video. Thanks for sharing your good knowledge.

Thanks, great video

Watching from Jamaica

I finally tried out your drying system. I will say, I batch nowhere near the amount you do, however it worked really well - even for my small batch. Probably the best batch of reclaim I've had thus far 😊

Woah, so informative..been wondering how you make your own. Love this!!

That vinegar trick was worth the price of admission.

Thankyou! I had to laugh when you chucked the buckets and boards! Bet nobody asks YOU to do dishes! Your clay is beautiful.
