Great vase ! It’s so nice to see the whole process of construction. I’ve trying to make these vases here in Brazil. I still have one dout: after we finish to set up the clay on rope, for how long we have to wait to take the rope out? Of course depends on the clay, whethear, etc, but if you could tell me your process whould help me a lot, cheers ! Je suis très heureux de voir tout le processus de construction du vase réalisé avec de la corde. J'essaie de les construire ici au Brésil. J'ai surmonté les difficultés pas à pas. Une question à laquelle si vous pouvez y répondre, cela m'aidera beaucoup. Après avoir mis l'argile sur la ficelle, combien de jours laissez-vous sécher l'argile avant de retirer la ficelle de l'intérieur du vase ? Cela dépend certainement du type d'argile, de la météo, mais si vous pouvez me parler de votre expérience, cela m'aidera beaucoup. Câlins.
I taped them making the pots, but I don't make pots myself. I do believe the rope stayed in the pots for at least a day. The clay appeared to be cold to touch, but not wet when he removed the rope.
I was there only for an hour or so. The outside form was made by the template, The inside was scraped down to smooth it out. They would glaze it on the inside and on the top 4 inches or so of the piece. They were originally used to transport olive oil. The glazing was used to help prevent rats from getting in the pots. They would hit the rim and the glaze would make them slip down. The saddest thing is that the Pottery was washed away in a major flood and I don't believe they rebuilt it. I believe it is gone.
