Where can I go to find and buy clay?

Question: I want to go get a nice big block of clay to make a bust...Preferably, I wouldn't have to go to a fancy art store, but I don't think any other types of stores really sell real clay. My question is, do general art/craft stores like Michael's sell clay? Thanks.

Answer: stores which sell you pottery supplies are rarely fancy and will offer you a much wider choice of clays - do you want a clay body which has to be fired at a high temperature or at a low temperature? Do you want white, red or brown clay? For things like sculpture colored clays are often nice because they look already good without having to glaze them. You also will get much better help with any questions you have and you can ask them for help with choosing the right clay for you. My recommendation would be look in your local yellow pages for a pottery supply store and go there.
