Red clay can be found in one of the mines used by the local potter Štefan Zelko.

The sticky, oily nature of red clay results in unique effects in the extrusion process;
the edges curl in a rhythmical, repetitive way, creating a particularly rough surface.

Various anomalies can still occur while extruding, possibly according to speed of the process or random moments in the machine-clay interaction.
