Looks like it was a super fun event! Real fun to watch this video, so many cool firings going on and pots being fired! Wow!
Thanks Will, it was a lot of fun and a few lessons learned too.
Oh you are all absolutely so lovely! It was great to see you and Wes and everybody else having such a great time despite the dust devils! What great work all around!
Thanks, it was a lot of fun.
What a great event, thanks Andy for hosting it. It was well worth driving from MN. 2 thumbs-up for the Ancient Potters Club. Wes
Hey Wes..your Mimbres bowl ..fantastic !!
Thanks Wes, have a safe return trip.
What a wonderful event! The smectite clay tests were interesting because of the strong contrasts of some. I was happy to see Concho and the St. Johns dump represented! Thank you.
I plan on doing some more clay exploration in that area this summer, there are a lot of great clays around there. Thanks!
Hi Andy, Irka here. It was wonderful meeting you and the other people, sharing, and learning so much at the gathering. We are back in California. I hope to attend more of these events in the future, they are great.
Hey Irka! I got to wondering after you left if you were the Irka who was my channel member, so glad to learn that you are. Thanks for coming. The Southwest Kiln Conference will be the weekend of September 30, October 1 in Blanding, Utah. That would be a great learning opportunity.
@@AncientPottery. Now I have the conference on my calendar. I will love to make it there.! I will make sure to keep you posted.
This is the most wholesome channel on RUclips 🥰 I'm glad you all had a good time together!
Thank you so much!!
Yeaaa! St David made the pot! ❤❤❤😊 I will have to drop by if you’re in the area again.
One more workshop this spring then I am about done out there for awhile.
Great stuff guys..watching with my coffee early morning in France..
Awesome! Thank you!
👍Greetings to you, Andy and Wes!
Same to you!
Very interesting video thank you for sharing 👏
Glad you enjoyed it
I'm glad to hear you say you want to make it an annual event. I was bummed I had to miss out this time, but a second chance will be great!
Looking forward to seeing you there next time Dave!
Oh boy -we over at Chiricahua that weekend to get some much needed sun at spring break. I wish I had realised your event was going on and would've swung by. Anyway, I'm glad you all had a fun time. Next year perhaps!
Oh too bad, you probably drove right past my place too. Next time.
Andy Good morning to you ✌🏼
Hey Pap!
I love what you’re doing ❤❤❤
Thanks
Really wish I could have made it 😢. Looks like everyone had a good time ! Great video Andy
Thanks Jeff, maybe next time
I'm in AL. My entire property is an old riverbed and its valley whole thing is a mix of quartz rocks, red clay, and some sand.
I'm very interested in using the clay here to try my had at pottery. Love the vids so far.
Thanks, yes get out there and use that clay you might be sitting on top of a real treasure.
This was a great experience and the attendees were wonderful people. Thank you for hosting and teaching.
Thank you and Don for coming.
Superb
Thanks
I love this pottery ❤ thank you for your videos 😊
this is so beautiful hopefully I'll find a group to do this with one day
Thanks
5:57 I love those tongs. Does that style have a particular name I can search for on google/amazon? With the rounded ends?
No idea, these aren't my tongs. Maybe search Amazon for tongs and see what you find.
There were fellow Minnesotans there?? Awesome!! Looks like it was so much fun!
Yes, it's a long way to come from Minnesota but I imagine the break from the winter weather is nice.
Looks amazing!! I have a question. These pots, can they be used for eating from? Can you bake with them? Just curious.
I am sorry man, I have to get this of my chest. The reason why I first looked at your channel was becouse you looked so much like John Denver.
Then I found out the nice natural art and history lessons and was sold. One sub coming up.
Thank you
8:51 I've been planning on doing a firing like this soon, but with a steel bucket instead of sherds. I was wondering, though, about whether or not one could insulate the bucket (like having one bucket inside the other, with a thin layer of perlite/clay mix in between. That would slow the heat transfer from the charcoal into the pots, reducing cracking (theoretically), but still eventually reaching temperature as long as the fire wasn't over too quickly. Thoughts? Anyone tried something like this?
That might work, I would worry though that if you insulated too well the pot might never reach the desired temperature. Cover sherds or flower pots provide a bit more insulation and protection against thermal shock than a bucket does.
right those areas whos wood is willow it takes more wood mesquite less Osage Orange extremely less
My guess is white ash from the fire got on your glove and you later touched your face.
I am a face toucher
sir cant we use powder glass to burnish with a smooth rock
I am not sure why I would want to use powdered glass. Can you elaborate?
@@AncientPottery for the glass like finish like porcelain
@@dhimanghosh9435 I don't think it works that way
@@dhimanghosh9435 that glass wont melt like you wanted to in the fire...
How big is your property?
40 acres
@@AncientPottery wow, that's a lot of acreage.
Is this annual?
I would like it to be, we shall see
