How can I sanitize clay?

Asked by rock4ever (1866points) July 29th, 2011

Out in the woods is a little river and at the bottom of it is a massive amount of clay. Me and my friend wanted to use the clay to make pots and pans, and possibly even a mini one room house. The only problem is, is that foster grants used that site as a hazardous chemical dumping ground. They dumped paint and whatever else down there. They contaminated the whole thing! I was wondering if anyone here knew of a way to decontaminate the clay? Would boiling it in water work?
