    Really great work on the pot and lovely video! I guessed 10 coils - so close :) I imagine that drying pots evenly involved a great deal of re-wetting areas that are drying too fast. Seems to me that that is what children might've been tasked with.

  • @masonwelty8058
    @masonwelty8058 Před 27 dny

    The last time I tried firing pottery, all 10+ pieces I had made were destroyed by my prop rocks exploding. Two lessons learned: don't put all your eggs in one basket until you trust your technique, and don't use props that will explode. Andy, what types of rocks are generally safe? I used andesite, an igneous rock very common in the Madison Range of Montana.
    Edit: I forgot to say, amazing work!

    I made myself a small pot this week, maybe 6-8" tall. This is my first real attempt at decorating with slip. I bought some colored clays of amazon (they're meant to be used as face masks!) and did some test firings to see what color they'll come out to. What really surprised me is how smooth the slip layer is, I haven't even stone polished it yet and it feels so nice.

  • @Kargoneth
    @Kargoneth Před měsícem +1

    You pose an interesting quandary: how did the ancients dry their pots uniformly? Would they have access to large amounts of grass or woven grass in Arizona? Perhaps they covered the pots in cover sherds. Anything to minimize airflow, rate of moisture loss, and heating. If you dampened the coverings, then they would humidify the pot somewhat uniformly, and as they dried they would dry the pot somewhat uniformly. Give it a try with a tall tubular pot. If the bedding of the pot were to rest on top of plant matter, then it should also be able to participate in the humidification and drying.

    • @AncientPottery
      @AncientPottery  Před měsícem +1

      Good thoughts. Yes they had grass and woven matts as well as woven cloth. I have wondered about the use of damp cotton cloth but have never experimented with that.

  • @petrapetrakoliou8979
    @petrapetrakoliou8979 Před měsícem +1

    7 coils, maybe 8. For drying I would have just put it upside down on top of the rim with a cloth underneath so that it could contract easily, and all parts get access to air in a similar way. Same thing for the firing, but I am guessing you put it right side up to keep the designs as clean as possible.

    • @AncientPottery
      @AncientPottery  Před měsícem

      Yes, fired right side up because it is hard to get the bottom clean. But when drying the top is rather fragile, I could have broken the rim off if I had set it upside down, at least early on.

Great step by step instructions and cautions. I hope you're feeling better. PS: all the soil I see up on the rim is red. Are you going toward Show Low or just above Payson for white clay? A video on this search would be helpful.

    • @AncientPottery
      @AncientPottery  Před měsícem +1

      Yes, most of the ground up there is red and yet there are a lot of layers of grey and whiteish clays all around. I have never found any above Payson but I have found many from Springerville over to Heber. Try Forest Road 107 near Willow Wash, there is a road cut in there with a million different colors of clay including many light shades of grey/white

    Hi Andy!
    I follow you with great love from Romania. I timidly started to make pottery using wild clay from our area. I made a cup, which is ok, then a plate.
    I reached the polishing phase, everything went very well, but on the plate, on the 5th day, a small crack appeared at the top, at the edge. I used clay and sand 20%. I was going to burn it tomorrow. Do you think I can do something more, or can you tell me where I went wrong?

    It looks like each coil gives about 1 inch in height. I think the final pot is maybe 18 inches tall (excluding the neck) so maybe 25 coils to construct. The diameter of the pot is quite large, so a large portion will be used around that part.
