[TheForge] Fire clay

[Steve Smith]

Maybe you've already dug through the barrel, but what I've found is that 
the stuff is usually available locally, but not easy to figure out who 
carries it. I usually start calling or visiting likely places and asking 
"well, if you don't have it, who does?". Two or three contacts and you 
should be there.
