Honors Projects
Several samples of raw clay from Augusta County, Virginia were analyzed, and one was chosen to develop into a clay body that could successfully be thrown on the wheel, fired, and made into functional ware.

A recipe was developed that worked well for the chosen clay, found in a roadside in Craigsville, Virginia.
