I Turned Backyard Dirt Into a Clay Cup #Shorts

This short experimental video documents one creator's attempt to transform raw backyard dirt into workable clay and shape it into a small cup. The process moves from raw soil through soaking, slurrying, straining, and drying before the clay is conditioned with sand and formed over a plaster mold. The result is a successfully shaped cup awaiting a kiln firing to test its durability. While tagged as Halloween content, the core value is in understanding how to source and prepare natural clay for prop and set-design use.
