Connie, Lois and Sarah rub the dry clay though ¼ inch hardware cloth on a board frame. The screening removed the rocks and the evenly sized pieces of clay were easier to mix. The clay was dug the year before in South-central Minnesota, watered down before winter, frozen during the winter, than dried out. The freeze-thaw cycle made the clay break down into smaller chunks that were much easier to work with.
