Chert Clay – Ozark Stone Infused Polymer, 2 oz Artisan Clay with Natural Flint Fragments, Missouri Hand-Foraged Clay
$15.00
Ancient toolstone reborn as clay.
This Chert Clay blends Sculpey III with fragments of chert collected in the Missouri Ozarks. Chert, a hard silica-rich stone, was historically valued by Indigenous communities for toolmaking and holds a deep geologic and cultural legacy.
The Ozarks are home to abundant chert outcrops, formed from marine deposits over millions of years. These fragments bring rugged textures, earthy reds, greys, and tans, grounding this clay in both geologic history and human heritage.
When fired, the clay reveals sharp speckles, stony inclusions, and natural variation. Sealed with resin, it develops a smooth, glass-like finish that highlights the embedded fragments.
Available in 2 oz blocks, perfect for sampling, sculpting, or adding to a collection of geology-inspired art materials.

Frequently Asked Questions
Imperfections, Shipment, and Custom Pieces
All pieces are handmade and one-of-a-kind. Pieces may have small imperfections, dimples, and blemishes. I try to be sure blemishes are included in the item’s photographs. Please keep this in mind as you order.
Pottery is fragile, so I package my pots carefully to avoid any items breaking in shipment. Sometimes, this can mean a large amount of shipping material is used. Boxes, shrink wrap, shredded paper, and bubble wrap are recyclable. Packing peanuts are biodegradable. Please recycle/biodegrade if possible!
Custom pieces can take about 4 weeks to create. I avoid delays as much as possible, but the kiln can have a mind of its own. I’ll notify you immediately if I expect any delays in the production process.
