Oaxaca Clay
I heard that Oaxaca has black clay and is the only part of the world have this unusual case?

I think that concern the Black Pottery Coyotepec near Oaxaca. This is not made of black clay, but clay pots that became carbon black in cooking. I just had the opportunity to work with black mud used in the performance of Korean celadon inlaid. Shoot tan, which makes it black is the organic matter is burned in the fire, probably ash. Jm
