Source and Special Clays Store

Note to Our Customers:

Ordering clays is a 2 step process. Therefore all orders must be placed on-line.

1) Place Your Order

The order will be sent to the Source Clays Repository for processing. Processing includes checking the availability of the source clay and adding shipping and handling charges.

2) After processing, an invoice will be sent to the email used when placing the order.  The Invoice will  contain a link to CMS Online Services to pay via credit card. Contact the CMS Business office (cms@clays.org) if you would like to pay by check or bank transfer. Please note that we DO NOT accept purchase orders. All orders must be paid in advance.

Once your payment is approved the Source Clays Repository will ship your order. Extra payments for faster shipments will apply from the day of shipping NOT the date of payment. The lab has limited hours, therefore shipment times vary from week-to-week.
