Thank you for watching our video on What is Clay?
Understanding Pottery is a video series in production by Washington Street Studios. The video series is a digital textbook that will take the viewer through the entire ceramic process from the raw material through the finished ceramic pieces. This is chapter one: What is Clay?
Have you ever wondered what makes up this material we use to make pots? Are you planning to create your own clay recipe? Learn the fundamental ingredients needed to make a clay useful in the ceramic arts.
The next video topic in the Understanding Pottery series will be Clay Properties and Drying.
