Always wanted to get involved in this, get a wheel, and a kiln.
But what's a pugmill ? Some type of clay blender?
I had presumed one could buy clay "ready-mixed" ?
Any/all info greatly appreciated -rj

Pretty much, yes.
You don't need one - not unless you need to recycle huge quantities of clay (or small quantities but you've got a load of money to spare!).
You can buy clay "ready made" and more-or-less ready to use. You can also buy it dry and make it up, saves paying to ship water around the country, but I imagine the process of reconstituting it and letting it mature is pretty laborious and time-consuming. I don't know if anyone actually does that (and I know my local colleges don't even for the volumes they use)and I don't even know if all types of clay cab be bought dry, so I guess I'd better shut up now.
