1. red clay dirt for a photo in an on-line tutorial instructions for how to make ... Special red clay or red dirt was gathered from the Santa Catarina desert in Baja ...http://www.kumeyaay.info/museums/modern_clay_pottery/red_clay.html
2. thats what its made from but it needs a lot of cleaning and purifying and if you just use mud, the whole project is likely to blow up on you in the kiln, clay is cheap anyway, no point in just messing with dirt.
