What is clay?
Dry Clay forming
Dry clay can be formed into very simple shapes (typically tile) by compressing it into molds under very high pressures in hydraulic presses. Larger more complex forms such as planters, bowls, or plates can be pressed with slightly moist, extremely hard clay. While we usually associate these processes with industrial production, artists and designers are increasingly using them to create forms that don't lend themselves to the more traditional moist clay methods.
