Digging pottery clay on Wicklow lakeshore
A mound of freshly dug pottery clay
A van with 20 bags of clay
Replica medieval pots made with this type of clay at UCD
Right. We have good pottery clay for our first year “Making the past” and our MSc “practical experimental archaeology” modules at University College Dublin’s @experimentarchaeol.bsky.social
Jeepers, but it’s heavy stuff to carry from a lakeshore across fields to a van though!
