Pottery by Osa
@potterybyosa@mastodon.social  ·  activity timestamp 3 months ago

This lady who has an interest in #pottery and local clay found my blog posts and got in touch with me. She’s a 3rd generation Floridian and grew up believing that there’s no #clay here, which is a very common misconception.

She came by to visit yesterday and brought a couple of clay samples she’d found. I offered to test fire them for her because she doesn’t have a kiln yet. I just placed them in the test kiln and I’m excited to see what happens. Will post results tomorrow! #WildClay#Florida

Two small circles of clay lying side by side on a broken piece of kiln shelf. The photo is shot from above with the clay samples and kiln shelf shard resting on a gray cement floor. The clay circle on the left is a tan color and the one on the right is more gray. They are marked with the codes R1 and R2 respectively so that we know which is which after they’ve been fired. They are being fired on a piece of kiln shelf just in case they melt so that they will not ruin the kiln interior.
