	Clay - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Clay is a term used to describe a group of hydrous aluminium phyllosilicates minerals (see clay minerals), that are typically less than 2 μm (micrometres) in diameter.
		Clays are distinguished from other small particles present in soils such as silt by their small size, flake or layered shape, affinity for water and high plasticity index.
		Clays sintered in fire were the first ceramic, and remain one of the cheapest to produce and most widely used materials even in the present day.

	Hawaii Craftsmen - Art/Craft Media - Clay Pit Firing (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		The first form of firing clay was done in a camp fire by primitive man. A camp fire is referred to as an "open face pit." The pit enables the fire to be contained and maintains the heat allowing higher temperatures to be reached.
		Once you’ve learned the basics of working with the smoke and color possibilities there are additional effects to try such as the use of tinted terra sigillata clays to paint on the ware or burnishing the greenware with the end of a spoon or a small smooth stone.
		As the surface of the bare clay will be the final finish on the ware you need to consider whether shape or impressed texture is the most important feature of your work.

	CARE OF CLAY & OTHER PIT MATERIAL
		Watering dry clay pits should be done by loosening the clay to 4 or 6 inch dept by shovel and adding water (leave clay around the stake for a couple inches to prevent "slick" from building up..."slick" tends to "pump" up around the stake after the clay has been watered excessively).
		Pitchers who expect to pitch in clay as well as sand during the year should be forewarned that pitches which land short of the stake and slide on for a ringer in a sand pit will not slide on clay and will remain a short shoe...a bad habit to watch out for.
		The best characteristic of blue clay is that it does not build up on the horseshoe like some red clays, yet it does not leave a soapy, slippery feel (unless of course you are pitching in 'slick' (clay with heavy water mixture that causes thick, semi-liquid called slick).

		This is the only check that I've come across relating to the Cornish China clay industry, not that I'm particularly a collector of them, and I wondered if any of the keener collectors have any, as there seems to be an interesting story of the use of the check I have.
		The Cornish clay pits don't have any underground workings (unlike the Devon ball clay ones) and so checks were not issued for the usual purpose of controlling and monitoring the movements of men into and out of the underground workings.
