Making porcelain clay

Here is how they process the clay and china stone. After the clay is dropped off in a solid rock form it is crushed with the hammer mills. Then it is put in a soaking area to slake down the clay. Once it is a liquid, they will dry it out in forms to make bricks. Finally, you add the dry china stone and kaolin clay together to make pure porcelain clay.
