Wild Clay P1
In this video I take you behind the scenes of foraging clay on a remote Oregon beach, processing it back in my studio, and finally throwing it on the wheel. You’ll see the messy ups and downs, the mistakes, the surprising beauty of wild clay, and the moment where everything almost fell apart. 💡
Along the way, I’ll share the tricks I wish I knew before working with wild clay, plus a bonus technique that completely changed my artistic style.
If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to make pottery with clay dug straight from nature, this is the video to watch. 🌊 From muddy hands to pottery heaven. Let’s see if this wild clay survives the kiln…

I learned this technique at an advanced throwing class in San Diego! I highly recommend the Tao of Clay if you are interested in growing and learning more about pottery!
