    finding workable clay in nature is stupidly easy if you know what to look for

    Workable clay may be hundreds of kilometers away, depending on where you live.

    I mean, I’m in the Netherlands, i literally can’t avoid the stuff, but not everyone lives in a giant river delta.

      like me. i live in two giant river deltas. we have clay for days here. one time, this punk kid brought a pit bull to the neighbors and it attacked my cat. this cat had beaten up a lot of dogs including a retired police german shepherd, so it just stared down the dog. then got shook around like a ragdoll while it removed much of the dog’s face.

      worst punishment we could think of was making the kid dig the grave. after two inches you hit clay. we made him go four feet deep. never saw him with a dog again, so between us and his parents something stuck.
