-
Clay is just this kind of amazing material
-
in that it has all these different states.
-
And it's very loose and pliable--
-
it can be unwieldy,
-
especially when you're working with a lot of it.
[LAUGHS]
-
And then it dries out.
-
The water leaves it.
-
It just becomes, like, this dust.
-
And you have to get it into the kiln.
-
You fire it
-
and it vitrifies and becomes very hard and stable.
-
It's so interesting that dust becomes this material
-
that is, like, probably
-
one of the hardest things to degrade.
