I'm located in St Helens OR.

I would like to learn about the local history of clay products.

I would like to have access to some clay deposit in the area.

Has anyone a resource that they can share that might assist me? I will
try the local library and county planning office as first steps.

Some universities carry USGS maps showing clay deposits. I know that the
University of Oregon in Ashland has these, so you should be able to find the
same in the Portland area.
You might do a web search on the USGS or check your local Bureau of Land
Management and they may be able to look up that information for you, or at
least give you an indication of what bulletins, etc. you might find useful.
Also, Craig Martell on this list, may be a good source for you.

You might want to contact Richard Rowland at Clatsop County Community
College in Astoria. He runs the Ceramic Art program and is a "native
clay" fan.

Dear Martin;

You can learn more in ten minutes conversation with any well-driller
than in hours of wading through books.

Cheers, Hank in Eugene, OR

When I was at Cameron College In Lawton Oklahoma we dug our own .It was a
sculpture class about 30 years ago. I did not realize how much our teacher
strived to show us.
I just play in clay so
just a little input.
