Wrapping up the 10 ancient forms in the Ancient Pottery Challenge, the olla is the last form for me to attempt. In this video I am using the ancient "coil and scrape" method to produce a large Tularosa Black on White jar, called an olla in the American Southwest. Follow along through every step as I produce this large jar, from coil building, to scraping and smoothing, slipping and burnishing, then painting and finally the outdoor pottery firing. This video took over two weeks to produce, show me some love, and hit the like button if you like this format.

Make sure you watch all the way to the end to see how this pot comes out 😉 There is an important lesson there for all potters.

@johanneswerner1140 3 года назад

Make sure to watch before reading the comments.. I love the layout process. Now that was really a good intro to how one can approach this! Thanks for sharing this.

@TJtheBee 3 года назад

I'm doing a challenge where I'm making 100 handbuilt bowls. What I am discovering is that you will screw up on some of the bowls you really love...but also discover a lot of beauty in the bowls that you originally thought were crap. And sometimes you make stuff and completely finish it, and it's wildly different to what you thought it was going to be. That's just the way it is. I have some ceramic bowls I threw on the wheel in my cupboard, and I love them, but they are way too heavy! So if any of them break, while I'd be sad for a little while, it means the opportunity to make new bowls that are better. And that's the important thing at the end of the day, is getting better at the art.

My kids and I have been collecting and processing wild clay and having some fun trying to make pottery and sculptures. Today the kids got impatient and decided to try drying their creations in the blazing, 100 degree sunshine. Needless to say, they didn’t survive the drying process. My 5 year old was in tears, really upset after the loss of so much work. I showed him this video, and after seeing it, he was able to see this experience as practice instead of waste. He’s excited to grind it up and start again. Thanks for sharing the practice and learning experiences, as well as the successes! It’s a huge, huge help!

@AncientPottery 2 года назад

My daughter in law was recently saying that she was afraid to learn to cook because she might mess it up. I told her that it is like learning to make pottery, you will fail many times, but with each failure you will learn and move forward. Failure is part of the process. An important lesson for children and even young adults.

@AncientPottery 3 года назад

Thank you. I will be firing some more of this same clay in a few days (if it doesn't rain the whole time). I hope to show how these kinds of problems can be mitigated.

@thehappypotter9612 3 года назад

I also recently did a sort pitfire-cum-open-firing and had very good results. Probably because the heat was more even because of the protection of a three-brick high wall around the fire. I usually fire three smallish pots at the most in an open fire, but this time I fired 11 pots and all 9 of the important ones made it. Only two experimental pots did'nt.

WelP, I started to watch this after watching two others of yours today and heard thunder in the distance. So I rolled out my driveway to a spot that traps many of my friends when they come by without letting 4 or 5 days pass after a rain. I've watched a few of your clay gathering episodes. I had to repack all the deep ruts with my truck as the big ruts began too harden, so I knew THIS is my best spot. Grabbed a handful of palm-sized chunks and set them aside for later, when I will make my FIRST lump of clay. Your area is exactly the same as my desert here 65 miles south of Alpine, TX, about 3 miles east of HWY 118. There is a bentonite mine out here and I know I can get it as it is everywhere. Thanks for the videos!

@notdonaldst 10 месяцев назад

Andy, thanks for posting this video. I am truly impressed with the skill that you put into making this pot and the unique methods you used. I absolutely loved making pottery in high school but without any equipment since then, I haven’t enjoyed the art. I only have some bowls and small figurines to remember. Now I’m thinking that I might give it another chance. Also, your encouragement to not get discouraged if the piece fails even after a lot of work, energy, and even emotion have been poured into the piece….let’s just say that it hit home and have me hope to give it a try.

@teresagray8787 2 года назад

Ohh, big gasp. I would have been crying for awhile. Such a beautiful piece. I'll be waiting for you next big piece. I'm so happy I found your channel. I've only fired a pit few small pieces with mixed results. But I've kept them to encourage me to do better.

I see very little buck skin tan clay that would take a whole day picking up what little pieces are sprinkled around in the creek beds.

I was doing archeological survey on the Tohono O'odham reservation west of Tucson and found an intact olla about twice the size of the one you make here. I almost didnt see it even though it was out in the open in a creosote flat. A creosote had grown up under it and lifted it off the ground and was it was at eye level. On the survey, you walk with your eyes down, so I almost walked by it. We collected it. It was in the Arizona State Museum, but maybe it was repatriated to the tribe.
