The Best Way to Process Wild Clay

The videos I made last year about wet processing clay have generated a lot of interest and suggestions on how best to wet process clay. However, I don't like wet processing my clay, I much prefer dry processing clay. In this video I will show how to dry process clay and talk about why that method is superior to wet processing of wild clay.
