Coal Firing a Primitive Saucer Jar - Thrill of Victory or Agony of Defeat?
Просмотров 57314 часов назад
In a recent video I painted this saucer jar and now it is time to fire it. It is the last week of January in Minnesota and I will fire the jar with lignite coal. The question is whether it will be a success or not. Here's the video where I show how to paint the jar. ruclips.net/video/JThfiJbaKb8/видео.htmlsi=zZu9dHPsx5di5bVE

Primitive Pottery Techniques: Firing with Coal at Home
Просмотров 1,2 тыс.Месяц назад
Before the Europeans, there were some native groups that fired pottery with coal. The result was durable and beautiful pottery that was traded across the Southwest. In this video I fire pots with coal in an attempt to recreate methods of the past. In this case firing was conducted on the Winter Solstice and the temperature was below zero Fahrenheit. A great way to spend the day and a good outcome.

Making Paint Test Tiles
Просмотров 2422 месяца назад
Primitive potters frequently receive mineral and paint samples to use as slip and paint and it is important to test them and have a way of tracking how they turn out. In this video I show how I make and track the samples I test. Knowing how your paint fires is very helpful in selecting the right slip and paint for your project.

In this video I make a large saucer jar (16") from wild clay and using the prehistoric coil and scrape method. Because of the shape it is necessary to let the clay set up between coils or gravity will cause the clay to sag. No talking, just video showing how it was made.

Making a Primitive Pottery Box, Beginning to End
This was a valuable review Wes, thank you for seeing the potential in giving us all an unbiased review, I had no idea they were made that small ❤
I didn't either. It makes a kiln more approachable.
👍
cheers
No need to explain yourself Wes. A test kiln is awesome! I myself have been looking for one for a while. Firing in an electric kiln will always be an oxidation affair (most always), so the finished look of pots will be different than those fired in a mixed reduction/oxidation environment. It can be very drastic compated to a mid/heavy reduction firing. Love your work by the way. Watching Andy's vids, git me started on wild clay and you've really inspired me with your painting. Thanks for showing the lottle vevor kiln, it looks perfect for testing clay and clay bodies.
That is good to hear. I really value the blushing on pottery that comes from firing with coal and sheep dung and that obviously is not going to happen with a kiln. Still, it is proving to be useful.
Why you call these tiles shards?
Well technically I suppose these are not sherds since both sherds and shards are broken material. It is common with primitive potters to cover and protect pottery in firing with pieces of broken pots. Sherd is an archeological term referring to broken ceramics. Shard is a more general term referring to almost any material that is broken - glass, wood, or ceramic. Thanks for the question.
Get thee behind me, Wes lol
Yes, you probably have a fancy kiln. I do wish I could have something a bit larger.
@@airstreamwanderings3683 No, no kiln. But if you repent and return to your grill you may find absolution ha ha. Get thee behind me is a scriptural reference.
Thank you Wes, this is really helpful
I'm glad you found it helpful.
I've been curious about wild clay in an electric kiln for a long time. Thank you!
Every clay is going to be different and some will not hold up to high temps and others will need higher temps to fully mature. That is a difficult thing to measure in a regular fire. Thanks.
Hi Wes, don’t forget firing (cone) is also dependent on how long the temp is held for.
Good point, thanks. With a wood fire there isn't much opportunity to soak but that isn't the case with charcoal or coal or with a kiln like this. Thanks for the comment.
Good info. Glad to see that you came over to the "dark side"!
Thanks. Now I think I might want something bigger.
Hi Wes! I was given an electric kiln a couple of years ago and use it for the exact same thing. I use the test tiles as coasters for drinks. 😁
Good idea. Thanks
I've been curious about this! Thank you for doing this review 💜
I hope you find it helpful.
Here is the link for the kiln Vevor Electric Kiln. s.vevor.com/bfRz4p Thanks for watching.
Couldn’t this be done with wood? Most people couldn’t afford or justify the expense of buying charcoal.
The expense of charcoal can be an issue. You can try wood but I think you would have a hard time getting the fire hot enough to fire the pot.
Get your own
Not sure what you mean.
Is this the first bisque firing?
Primitive potters don't usually think of this as bisque firing. It is the first and last firing and it is considered low temperature so the pottery is ceramic but still porous. I don't know the normal temp for bisque firing but this is pretty similar I think. Temps are normally 800-900C. Primitive potters normally don't bisque their pots first but some do if they are particularly concerned about breakage. Instead most use temper/grog to make the pots resilient and traditional. Thank you.
What kind of glaze do you have on that pot
There is no glaze. This is a low-fire type of pottery and doesn't get hot enough for a glaze to work. The painting (decoration) is made of minerals, primarily iron oxide for red and manganese dioxide for black. They are mixed with some clay to get them to stick.
@ that is awesome.. I wish you would show that technique and how you apply it
Here's an idea... while firing the pottery put a grill over it and cook too!!!!
I'm particularly fond of bratwurst. Thanks
It would sill look good in my garden!
Thanks, It does look decent from some angles. If you pay for shipping you can have it.
Weave a basket and set the pot on it. It’s only decorative anyway.
Good point, it looks fine if you don't see the big spalls.

Thank you
It turned out perfect, congratulations 🎉 on the successful firing
Thank you so much, I'm happy with how it turned out too.
Just finished watching this video and was reminded of the doro dangos I made way back when. I didn't go for a round shape but rather an egg-like look and some very irregular forms that all looked neat when polished up. I used the back of a spoon to burnish them. Love your idea on how to make them round using the tops of bottles. The addition of color , too, is a great idea. I really enjoyed watching this and the 2 other videos of yours that I've just seen, and I shall begin watching more and more. Thank you for taking the time to make them.
You are very kind, thank you.
Thanks for this, Wes. I like that the name is Japanese (as we live here!) Doro (土) =dirt, mud, Dango (団子) =ball . I find it interesting that many crafts here result in round shapes, such as the temari. Cheers!
Excellent. You have a unique perspective. In the past I had a passion for making large glass marbles. More roundness. Thank you.
@ Then, there is the “zen circle” many try to achieve-and most don’t-done with brush and ink.
Beautiful firing, and pot !
Thank you.
How are you measuring temperature with no prometer
What a beautiful pot! I love it!! 😅
Thanks, I'm glad you like it.
oh that sweet sound of success ..perfect
So good! Not something to take for granted.
Hello Wes. An absolutely magnificent pot. A successful firing. I think you mentioned previously that the coal is low quality. Is it Lignite? If you travel through the Four Corners this year let me know. We’ll get you a supply of sub-bituminous from the Upper Fruitland Formation. Wonderful video. Thanks for your generosity in sharing of your experience. BTW I learned this week that my red clay slip will adhere to a leather hard clay body and will dry without cracking. And it polishes up beautifully. Thanks for helping me learn this.
I'm glad the slip is working out. Yes it is lignite from North Dakota. Thanks for the offer. I'm sorry but I can't tell who you are by your user name.
Hi Wes. This is Frank.
@user-rw1ox1kl2p got, thanks
Turned out really nice Wes!!
Thanks for much Will. Always a work in progress.
Perfect firing buddy! I’m Very inspired by your painting designs and firing techniques. Beautiful pot!
Thank you so much, I appreciate the comment. As you well know there are no guarantees.
Hi from Japan, Wes. We love your channel, and hope you can reply to our email just sent to you, about advice for firing pots using roof tiles as a homemade kiln. Cheers!
Greetings from the US. I will look at the email and try to reply. Thanks
Looks amazing! love those Hopi inspired pots! Looks true to the color for sure! Coal may be the ticket!
Thanks, I do like working with coal and I'm glad I have a good source.
Very nice work
Thanks so much!
@@airstreamwanderings3683 your welcome
Thank you sooooooo much for showing the firing!!!! It was BEAUTIFUL!!!!!! I'm going to try doing a charcoal firing as soon as I can find a inexpensive grill!!!! I processed some wild clay but it's not burnishing like my regular clay. ?? Any thoughts. I got the smooth stone ,I've even tried putting a little olive oil on it in spots ?trying different things. Thanks again for your awesome videos!!!! God bless & take care
Thank you for your kind words. Some clay doesn't take a burnish very well. It also may be your timing. It should be leather hard. Maybe try burnishing it at various stages. Some people burnish several times to get the shine they want. Good luck.
❤ it! Beautiful 🎵job!
Thank you so much!
Love it! ❤ what an absolute beauty. Always good when a plan goes well 😊 thank you for letting us share in the process.
Thanks so much, I appreciate the comment.
Looks lovely!
Thank you, I'm happy with it.
Great work sir. I am a real fan of your work.
Thank you so much, I appreciate the kind words.
I have done Raku firing in a metal trash can with sawdust, loved the results.
Yes, I would like to give it a try. Thanks.
Nice ring
Thank you.
So thrilling Wes! Totally fantastic! I've made a couple inspired by yours. Can't wait to fire!
That is good to hear. Good luck.
Really nice pot. How well did your colors set? Any fugitive pigments?
They are 100% solid. I don't have too many issues with fugitive paint.
Beautiful Wes! I'm ready to try coal. Need to find a good local source. Thanks so much for sharing your talents!
Coal can be hard to find depending where you live. I did some searching on Google maps. I think Harbor Freight sells it but it is expensive and comes in small pieces. Lump coal works best. Good luck.
Great firing! Good temps, lovely pot. You da man. A real coal baron!
Thanks, I'm glad it turned out this time..
It is nice when they turn out. 🙂
Yes, it is not a guarantee.
Beautiful! Your own paint designs fit and gives the vessel it's own character. Nicely done Wes. 😮
Thanks so much.
Your getting that coal firing down! Beautiful work.
Thank you, I'm getting the hang of it.
Howdy Wes ! Good Morning & whatta great video as always ! That 3 plus hrs firing yielded a great looking jar, with a nice ring as well , you Dunn Good ! 🤠
Thanks, I'm glad it worked out.
Very nice!
Thank you! Cheers!
