PROCESSING WILD CLAY: How we relate to clay with Andrew Sartorius

What clay are you from?  Process the wild clay you harvested alongside us in Episode 2 with Andrew Sartorius at the Oki Doki studio.  Turn a bucket of land chunks into a beautiful, silky, moldable clay.  Exploring different relationships to clay bodies.  Andrew shares what it takes to live and work as a full-time artist and the legacy of making passed down from his parents.   

This is Part 2 of a three-part making exercise over the season of the show – harvesting wild clay, processing wild clay (Part 2) and firing your wild clay in an open pit (Season finale and Part 3).
