Plainsman Clays

We are a clay mining and processing company in southern Alberta, Western Canada. We have made clay bodies specifically for pottery related uses since 1962.

We mine clay in Montana, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba (thousands of tons at a time). Our deposits are limitless, consistent and produce raw clays that are balanced and well adapted to pottery. We grind and package our clays and clay blends in bags, bulk bags and pugged form. Our quality control and R& D lab assure consistent products and assist customers with development and trouble shooting issues. We were one of the first companies in the world to publish on-line data sheets and technical product information (in 1996). We have built a reputation for excellent customer service, quick delivery (we maintain large inventories, no one delivers faster and more reliably year after year).
