Clay and a kiln

Hey, I was wondering if anyone on the board had any details on pottery in the DR. I used to be a hand builder, working particularly with T3 clay. I want to get back into it, but thinking about it now maybe I should have gone to art school like I wanted. Anyways, i'd love to find some good hand building clay, some simple glazes, a kiln etc. Ash, wood, or even coal firings would be fine. Though, for some reason I find it highly unlikely to find this in the DR and the few places i've been to have extreme surcharges and low quality materials. Still, any help would be appreciated.
