If it's just to hold the other ingredients together, I'm sure many other materials could be used. Kaolin is fine-textured and white, but I'd think any ordinary grey or buff clay would be fine if the mixture were colored. Kaolin deposits are found all over the world - if they make porcelain, they've got kaolin. In the US it comes from Georgia, Illinois, etc. The mines are inland and possibly less destructive to the environment than most other mines, since kaolin doesn't cause toxic runoff.
