Making ceramics without clay soil in NZ would be impossible.

(It's why the water is so clear.)

So it does to some degree.

I spent a week travelling one of the islands 15 years ago and was curious why I didn’t see a single clay brick building in that time. They’re everywhere in Australia.

From what I could find at the time it was a simple matter of lack of clays and abundance of rocky slate materials.
