Welcome primitive pottery newbies. Dip your feet in the shallow end of the pool with this video "Primitive Pottery for Beginners" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZOGXXog2S4g.html

@efethecaptain6 11 месяцев назад

I started making pottery after finding some encouragement from your videos. I made myself a handful of vases and mugs using these really basic methods. I'll be honest, pinching method is for experienced potters I assume, it was really challenging, pinching it to the right thickness, rolling another coil properly, balancing the next coil on top, connecting the next one and the next one and making it seamless... I was much more successful rolling out the clay dough with a rolling pin and cutting rectangular slabs. (Or you can slap it to make the slab.) A mug can be finished in 3-connection steps; base, slab body/wall and the handle. Anyway, have a great one, I'll always be grateful. 😇 Love your videos.

@AncientPottery 11 месяцев назад

While slab building is easier for beginners, it can pay to improve your coil building skills through practice because it will allow you to build more complex forms than slabs will. Thanks for watching.

I was cursing the soil in my field last week, as I tried to loosen it up to plant some garlic. "This is pure clay", I said to myself... So I'll be having a go at a mug as soon as we're allowed to light fires again (Nov 1, I think). Plenty of olive cuttings for the firing, some river sand in a bag I collected up on the mountain in August. All set! Thanks for your time, your knowledge and your enthusiasm--a fan from Greece.

@Zerel 10 месяцев назад

Hi Andy! I recently fired a few pieces made of clay from the backyard and it was a disaster. I used a "kiln" made up of old bricks and a galvanized bucket, and used lump charcoal as my fuel. When I checked the pottery, it was a jumble of pieces. Nothing survived. I'm assuming I didn't have enough temper, but the cross section of each of these broken shards was interesting to me. Each shard had a thin veneer of normal ceramic on the external bits, but the inside was jet black, very much carbonized. Do you think this disaster could have been caused by an overabundance of organic material left in the clay? The sheer darkness of the interior of these shards is something I've never seen in commercial clay before.

@padenpierry7364 11 месяцев назад

I’d love to see you fire a three jar Viking pitch kiln then using it to get pitch from birch bark and use that pitch to seal the inside of a earthenware water bottle 😊

@padenpierry7364 11 месяцев назад

The three jars are a lid, bark holding jar with a small drain hole in the bottom and then a small catch jar. You burry the catch jar to ground level, place the bark jar on top, then place the lid on the bark jar. Use clay to seal the seams. Fire the entire stack and it will distil pitch into the catch jar.

@AncientPottery 11 месяцев назад

We don't even have birch trees in Arizona.

@Singularitygames141 11 месяцев назад

Hello Andy! I really enjoy watching your videos. They are always full of useful bits of information. You have inspired me, to try primitive pottery myself! However, I have a question regarding the use of coil building: Do you use a specific ratio, to determine the thickness of a coil, compared to the base of a pot? I am having a bit of trouble, with getting the right thickness for my coils, making them difficult to attach.

@AncientPottery 11 месяцев назад

No, you can make really huge coils or really tiny ones, it just depends on what you are comfortable with. I usually make my coils about the size on my thumb or index finger.

@copenkendrick3128 8 месяцев назад

I just recently found your videos. They are so informative! I do have a couple of questions though do you use a special kind of sand to tempur your clay? And can you make your pots, cups and bowls food safe? Or are they already?

@AncientPottery 8 месяцев назад

No, just ordinary sand but there are a few minerals you want to avoid such as limestone. They can be sealed which makes them safer from bacteria but they are generally safe. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--GOfY4inaMw.htmlsi=k3Wr79fTv7DS4eRr

@lukearts2954 5 месяцев назад

I live right on top of such light grey clay. Less than a ft deep under the entire surface of my property, there's a layer of several feet thick of very pure clay, in locations mixed with iron oxides. However, so far I haven't found a way to use it for pottery. I'm curious what I can learn on this channel to make it work =)

@petrapetrakoliou8979 11 месяцев назад

Very nice video, keep making these! If my clay is reasonnably wet, my new thing is to roughly grind it by hand and take out in the same time all the roots and pebbles that I can - but there still remains a few just like in the broken originals I find, sometimes they are so big, they practically go the whole way through the wall. Small roots don't seem to cause any problem. This may have been the easiest way to proceed wet clay without a sieve. Did the dog stay at home this time?

Yes, it is the same way around here, most light colored clays will not stay that way in a firing. The best whites I have found in my area are those that have decomposed from volcanic ash like that shown here. Thanks
