How to make a Roman Style Oil Lamp

- Today, we are going to make a Roman style Oil Lamp using the pinch method and the stamps we previously made. While the Romans would not have glazed their lamps, I recommend that you do so as to avoid the oil absorbing into the clay.
I used camping lantern wicks for mine and they worked out great. You can use any standard cooking oil- I used canola because that's what I had on hand; though olive oil is more traditional.
Thankyou , using this demonstration for an archaeology assignment !
Oh absolutely! Happy to help!
Muy interesante, buena idea lo de la tarjeta y el preparado de arcilla líquida. Gracias !!
De nada!
Good tutorial! Thanks for sharing ❣️
Oh absolutely! Thank you.
Hola, muy bueno, lo hice y me quedó genial, pregunta, lo impermiabilizas con algo o lo usas una vez seco.? Con fuego y tal. Saludos
How did you fire this? Did you mix filler into the clay first to protect against cracking?
No- I just fired it slow
How you feel bout the the air dry terracotta clay no heat.
To make a functioning oil lamp? 🪔
Hmmm. I’m not sure how porous it would be. That’s definitely worth investigating further.
@@mountpennart Yah, im a do it.
@@snapcracklefizzle9954 How did it turn out with the terracotta clay? Was the lamp functional?
@@artinchancingI just happened to c this in my email, but, the clay I got from the thrift store (Joann fabrics, was awful. Idk if it was the red color die or what)
Now I just order clay online, which was better, but still awful in my opinion. It wasn’t elastic, using it now.
It’s not mallable, like at pottery’s.
I recommend going to an actual place where they make pots.
Cause the stuff online was poop to me
@@snapcracklefizzle9954 Thanks! That’s good to know!
what is slip?
Slip is clay mixed with water. I put mine in a blender for my students. It should have the consistency of a smoothie.
If you’re feeling lazy, water will also work.
@@mountpennart do you have online classes?
