Hi Andy! First of all, thank you for inspiring us to keep the ancient traditions alive ! I’m in Oklahoma working with good ole red dirt clay❤️ My question is with vitrification of my hand dug clay. How can I determine if I have reached vitrification? Do I shoot for a certain temperature? Or just check for weeping through the vessel?
I lived in Oklahoma for 4 years and found that clay was plentiful in many areas. I don't know much about vitrification, my pottery is fired at low temperatures and does not vitrify. The pottery I produce is earthenware that is porous. There are various ways of "sealing" earthenware, none of them 100%. But mostly the porousness of traditional pottery is just an accepted attribute.
Sure, you could use these colors for anything I would think. I have limited experience with glazes though so can't really speak to how you could use them with a glaze. I have an online class all about natural paints that you may be interested in ancientpottery.how/courses/natural-pottery-paints-slips-and-pigments/
@@AncientPottery I think because you mentioned in your earlier videos that when you do it this way (and rub the oil on it at the end) it's still, like absorbant? I'm trying to see if this method will help me make stuff that's dishwasher safe AND can have stuff like raw meat, etc on it. Do you have solutions to those things?
The mug you made here looks great. : ) Very even and smooth. Mine are still a little lumpy, I’m working on it. : ). We like all your web posts very much and are going to get your pit fire class soon. Thank you for sharing so much with us. BTW I just posted my first photo of a pot I made over on the #ancientpotterychallenge.
Andy. My name is Richard and I live in the prescott area. Recently I've been working very hard to make pottery the way the ancient native americans did many years ago. Unfortunately I have been going through a lot of trouble just to find myself an optimal source for clay. However, I haven't had any success. Any advice?
I know people who collect clay in the Prescott area so I know there is clay in that area. But I have never collected there so I can’t point you to any specific locations. I have an online class that will teach you what to look for and how to process wild clay, that may help you. Or come down to Tucson and I can show you some places here.
@@AncientPottery Oh that would be fun to meet you and see the places with clay in the Tucson area. We just were out there this weekend for Thanksgiving and we wondered if you were anywhere around there. We also got some clay in the Sierra Vista and Benson area, eager to try it out. 🤞🏻
The coil added too much height to the pot. I was trying to make a mug not a jar so it needed to be trimmed down. In retrospect I should not have added such a large coil.
Nice tip about when to stone polish the slip on green clay. Thanks for sharing.
welcome
Looks good
Neat. I can't wait to see it painted and fired.
I look forward to trying my hand at this in the coming months myself here in western Pennsylvania.
Thanks.
I appreciate your efforts. Thank you for a new hobby and teaching
You are welcome.

@@AncientPottery thank you for your feedback!
I love the size. If you want to send it to me I would use it everyday
I can't even have a bbq where I live so I just get to watch you
There are a couple of my mugs available for sale on my website.
Can you put a link in I can’t seem to find any

If you could let us know more about natural colours, please. Would these colours be good for plates and cups.

Is there a way to properly glaze with the firing technique with the bricks and stuff?
There might be but I have never had an interest in glaze so have never looked into it.

Thank you. Your skills are definitely developing thanks for posting the photo.
It will shrink and I don't know about you, but I love a big mug. I love that mug.
How do you avoid dragging sand across the pot ,I always drag sand on one spot or another
That is why I do stone smoothing after the scraping.

@@AncientPottery thank you very much andy, we appreciate you. I wouldn't know what to do if it wasn't for all your amazing content

Keep farewell
Thank you, I plan on keeping on faring well! The same to you!
Did you ever finish this?
Did I ever finish this mug? Yes it is on the shelf behind me right now.
Why did you remove the rim? I NEED ANSWERS!
Vannaly Rose the pot is at home. Feel free to add the rim back if you want.
The coil added too much height to the pot. I was trying to make a mug not a jar so it needed to be trimmed down. In retrospect I should not have added such a large coil.
If you drink coffee out of this mug for a year and then decide to switch to tea, is it going to make the tea taste or smell like coffee?
It would take me at least a year to answer this question.
