This is the first video in a series all about clay--what it is, how to find and dig your own, and how to work with it in a knowledgeable way. I hope this is an accessible introduction to the science and geology of clay.

This video covers where clay comes from (geology), what clay is (chemistry and mineralogy), and what makes it such a special material (biology, genetics, and chemistry).
