Wow, good one! Will keep an eye out

You can also make clay by sifting dirt but that would take a while to do a floor that way.

Maybe call a local pottery store if there is one and ask where they source theirs.

Hey,
I'm based in northern Italy. I checked the pottery store, they order online from an arts supply type shop. There are no brick factories around, mostly derelict car manufacturers...

Hi Folks,
I'm looking to source clay for an earthen floor and cob. I'm not actually in Seattle! I haven't found anything, the soil here is generally quite silty, there are no brick factories or riverbanks where I could dig. Any ideas? Where do you source your clay?
Thanks folks!
