YES! Any clay will do, but typically the majority of cob is sand you only need 20-30% of the mix to clay, the rest sand and some fiberous material.
How would it compare to other clays used?
Not too sure as I've never worked with red clay but the end product will probably be red!
Have fun!
Thanks for the info!
My hubby dropped off a few
bucket loads of sand and clay earlier, I now have a few sample bricks drying!
