@@MakeNCreate Can you answer the guy at the bottom concerning the fire. It'll help me too. Thanks

Hey now, not bad for a first firing! Make them thinner next time, especially the bottom; beginners tend to make them too thick, resulting in big hunks flaking off like on some of your pieces. Also, let them warm up slowly. Place them next to the fire instead of right in, this warms them up and makes sure they're COMPLETELY dry, then in they go. And after, let them cool slowly. Just let the fire die down until its cool, and pick your pieces out. You could also try coiled pottery, it's a much easier thing to start with and allows you more control over the piece. And, as others have suggested, knead the clay to get air bubbles out. Prevents cracking, chunks coming off, and exploding. Yes, exploding.

Good advice on warming up and cooling down the pieces slowly. Pouring water onto the hot pots was about the worst thing to do, but that's all right as it was part of the learning process. The reason that you want to warm them up slowly is twofold though- it's more so you prevent thermal shock than to dry out any remaining moisture in the piece. Heating up any unfired clay piece too quickly, or too unevenly, will cause it to fracture, no matter how little water it has left inside it.

adding some grog to the mix would help. KEvron

While making clay , knead the clay like a dough for some time , until it has no air inside. That will make it stronger , and while giving it shape you add water which makes it less likely to break. Also , it gets a better and a colour between gray-brown that is easier to paint.

I, Nephi, having been born of goodly parents, therefore I was taught somewhat in all the learning of my father; and having seen many afflictions in the course of my days, nevertheless, having been highly favored of the Lord in all my days; yea, having had a great knowledge of the goodness and the mysteries of God, therefore I make a record of my proceedings in my days. Yea, I make a record in the language of my father, which consists of the learning of the Jews and the language of the Egyptians. And I know that the record which I make is true; and I make it with mine own hand; and I make it according to my knowledge". 1 Nephi 1-3 Hello friends, I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. The verses above are the first three verses in The Book of Mormon. I know this probably isn't the most ideal place to talk about religion but I really do want you to know that God loves you. You may not love Him or care about Him at all, but He still will continue to love you. You are a beloved son or daughter of God. He knows you personally and He truly and deeply desires for your happiness. He loves everyone who has every lived on this earth, with a perfect equal love regardless of their race, gender, ethnicity, faith and values and beliefs. The Lord loves you more than you can think or comprehend. "He inviteth them all to come unto him and partake of his goodness; and he denieth none that come unto him, black and white, bond and free, male and female; and he remembereth the heathen; and all are alike unto God, both Jew and Gentile" 2 Nephi. He is our loving, caring Heavenly Father. We are literally His children and creations. When we were in the womb, he knew about us" Jerimiah 4:5. He knitted us and we were created in His image. I testify to you that you and I are not a mistake. He knows the very moment when we stand and when we sit. He is familiar with all our ways and knows us personally who we are. The hairs on our very head are numbered. God loved us so much, He sent His Only Begotten Son for us, that we may be able to return and dwell in the presence of God again. The Lord has not forgotten about us even when it feels like He has. He will never forsake us. When we are happy, He and His angels rejoice alongside us. When we are sad, He heals us and lifts us up from our trials. He has always been there for us. He has always been our loving, compassionate Heavenly Father and God. Will we always be His children and people? I testify to you that God lives and that Jesus is the Christ. Both love you exceedingly and rejoice when you are happy. They both love you so much. They love you with a love unfeigned. They will never ever stop doing good unto you. I know that The Book of Mormon is true. "And when ye shall receive these things, I would exhort you that ye would ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ, if these things are not true; and if ye shall ask with a sincere heart, with real intent, having faith in Christ, he will manifest the truth of it unto you, by the power of the Holy Ghost". Moroni 10:4 I promise and testify to you, that if you will read The Book of Mormon, ponder on its message and ask God if it is not true, you will come to know of its truthfulness, whether its true or not true. Remember my friends that God loves you with all his heart, might mind, soul and strength. He wants you to be happy. He knows what you are going through and dealing with right now. He desires for you to return back to Him. Unfortunately, He has been misrepresented and seen as a cruel and angry God who anticipates for us to slip and writes down every mistake we make waiting to punish us by those who do not know or know Him fully. My friends, God has stored many opportunities and blessings for you. He is incredibly eager and desires with all His heart to bless you abundantly. He wants you to live with Him again. He only wants the best for you and your well being. He wants to experience everlasting joy and indescribable happiness in this life and in the life to come. He wants you to partake of His goodness and come and follow Him. The Lord does not care how early or late you decide to come unto Him. I testify to you that if you have strayed and wondered off the path that there is peace and hope in Jesus Christ, The Savior of the world. The Lord accepts those who come unto Him whether your early, late or just in time who desire to change. The Lord will accept you wholeheartedly and forgive you if you are willing to change. The Lord will welcome you and will always be ready to embrace you with open arms. The Lord will lift us up in our trials and use us to bless the lives of those around us if we are willing to change. If you desire to learn more, you are always welcome to visit comeuntochrist.org. There you will learn more about The Church of Jesus Christ and our core beliefs and values. If you have taken the time to read The Book of Mormon and this comment, thank you. It takes a huge leap of faith and a lot of courage to muster enough faith to read in the Book of Mormon and to believe in something in a personage that you may never see in this lifetime. Although we may not be able to see God and Jesus Christ in this life, I testify to you that they are real. They do truly exist. I promise you that if you will pray to know of their existence, you will come to know whether they exist or have been made up. You are my friends. The Lord loves you and is aware of you and despite all our weaknesses and shortcomings, he still loves us and will forgive us if we will humble ourselves before Him and diligently seek correction and do whatever is needed to repent. Remember that The Lord is always available to talk to through prayer 24/7. No question sounds too silly for Him. James wrote, "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him" James 1:5. If you must know whether or not something is true or evil and deceptive, you can always pray to God. He will help you know what the truth is and what is not the truth. He will never be too busy to talk to. He will give you strength you need to overcome and conquer your temptations and will give you the strength you need to endure through your trials and afflictions. Paul said that The Lord will not give you temptations that you cannot resist, but that in your temptations, He will provide a way for you to resist, overcome and conquer them. He will provide a way. He wants to bless you and reward you abundantly in Spiritual and physical things. The Lord knows you and will not forget you. You are loved. You are utterly amazing. You have incredible potential. You are not forgotten or ever will be forsaken. You are special. You are unique. You are one of a kind. You have been reserved for this time and The Lord needs you on His side. It simply would not be the same without you. That is just how much the Lord need you on His side. Thank you for your time.

I was told to put a freshlyeaten corn cob in one of the pots your firing. When the cob burns up your pot is fired. Works nearly every time. Really fun to watch. Thanks for the hard work!

I am a Cherokee, and my ancestors used pit firing. I think that the step modern pit firing leaves out, most likely because of using a wheel to "throw," a pot, rather than hand make it, is the step of using a smooth object such as a spoon, to rub the clay. It makes partially dried clay, you guys call greenware, shiner, a slicker surface. Also, the key to the clay not cracking is a super slow warming up, gradually getting the clay hot in the fire, and a slow cooling down process. Instead of setting the pots down on hot coals, gradually move them closer in, and on the cool down, gradually move them off the coals and out of the fire. Also, make sure that the pot passes the fingernail test, can you push your fingernail into it, if so it needs to be fired at a hotter temperature.

Pit firing is not exclusive to Native Americans, it is the oldest known method for the firing of pottery. Her saying she is a Cherokee almost seems like saying that they were the ones that invented the method. In fact, she uses the term as a statement that what she is about to say is undoubtedly true and coming from a position that could not possibly be wrong... take into account that she did not say, I come from a family of potters so I know this, she said I'm a Cherokee so I know this, which makes her affirmation completely irrelevant.

Hi, MnC.. Tyvm for your video; i have often wondered about finding & processing my own clay , so this was particularly interesting to me. If I may return the favour, there are a few tips that someone took the time to show me; perhaps you might also enjoy them: - Clay is much more easily centered on your wheel if you brace your elbows into your hip bones and use your weight to stabilize your arms, especially when the clay is heavy, as you bring it to centre. - once you throw the clay and begin to work it, if one part of the pot refuses to conform, consider that there could be an air bubble trapped in bit of clay. If you take a pin tool and pierce the bubble, it's possible that you can just make a quick repair and just get on with your project. - somebody made a suggestion that you knead the clay before you use it. Kneading is what you do to introduce air into dough for example when you're making bread, so that it will rise. That person probably meant "wedge" instead of "knead". Wedging is the process of eliminating air from the clay body. It's such a useful skill to have and fairly easy to master; it will seriously rid you of at least 95% of frustration with pottery. -Check out "raku" firing; it'll get you sufficiently high firing temperatures to more fully vitrify your pottery. I hope to find more claying videos from you here on KZread!

I'm planning to do this with the clay I found next to a tiny lake. I'm learning pottery right now and I must say you were good for a beginner. Some masters have been known to take years to learn how to center.

Nice work. I've tried to make clay, but most of the sediment size I was using was too big, but I'll try again when I can find a finer clay. Some things I've read and experienced: adding temper such as grog or crushed shells can increase strength and decrease chance of cracking. Slowly drying your piece, especially if it has a lot of water in it, usually by covering it loosely with plastic can also help decrease chance of cracking. Also, it's partially preference, but I prefer to start about as dry you had it the first time, and add water ass needed. When you added water over night, it seemed a bit saggy. Also, also, feel free to cone up and down a few times to really center before you start pulling a wall. Anyway, interested to see what you do next.

I love working with clay. I'm more of a sculptor than a pottery maker, but I enjoy making pottery too xD I used to be really bad ad handling it but once I got a feel for it I became addicted.

I'm genuinely in love with the video.. this is reality.. this is how things turn out when you try them for the first couple of times.. Thank you so much for sharing..

This was the only video where only a single word was heard throughout its duration (No....!!). I loved how the focus was on the job and not the talk. Brilliant video. Had been doing research on the emotional experience of creating pottery. Got the right video!! Thank you so much!!

You have to leave, decay for days in a shady place, so that it loses moisture, slowly, so that the material shrinks and does not crack, you can build a fire before handling the clay and adding the ashes to the clay before making the objects , the ash prevents it from cracking and the walls can be thinner the ash gives high resistance to the containers, after 15 days drying the shade, then you can put it in a small hole, and put a little fire of sticks for about 2 hours, without fire, this will cause the pieces to dry well and lose total humidity. Then you can start to slowly increase the fire, until you see them turn ripe pumpkin color, then increase the fire for about 3 hours, and let it burn. As soon as the fire starts to subside, throw warmer sand around the fire or earth, and cover the pieces well to cool naturally. The other day you can take them out, they will be perfect. Spread edible oil inside and outside, add water and boil for about 40 minutes, be careful not to let all the water evaporate. 40 minutes you can remove from the fire with boiling water and let it cool. There you will have some very nice pots! I liked your work, young man. These steps I gave you are very good. Good luck.💡

I have some tips! clay cracks when it is too thick, so make sure the walls of the bowls are nice and thin you can make plates if you just use harder/drier clay this was a very interesting video, It would be nice to see a part 2 where you glazed them after firing naturally with something like beeswax or self-rendered animal fat!

That's not glazing that's sealing. Earthenware pots like this are never glazed unless you are making ceramics in a kilm. To seal them all you need to do is cook starches, or melt bees wax or oine resin in it and coat it then let it melt out. It will absorb what it needs to. Similar to cast iron and developing a good season.

Nice job! The bay around where i live has a whole load of clay, thought about doing that back in the day.

Thank you! You don't know how boring and uninformative other videos are. Thank you for editing and not distracting me with irrelevant details.

Two suggestions: first, temper your clay with either sand or grog (ground up, fired ceramic from earlier, unsuccessful firings) to prevent cracks and spalling, and, second, DO NOT cool your fired pottery with water; let it stay in the ashes of the fire overnight and cool down much more slowly to avoid thermal shock. If you want to seal the pottery to prevent it "weeping" fluids, consider melting beeswax or pine pitch and thoroughly coating the interior of the vessel after firing (best done while the ceramic is still noticeably warm from firing). Great first attempts, though (mine all exploded while firing)!

Hell yeah. You can let your pieces dry then put em back on the wheel and shave them into exactly how you want and get a super smooth finish. Use wet clay as “cleats” to hold the piece on the wheel. The cracks probably happened because of air bubbles in the clay. If a piece falls apart on you and you throw it back on the wheel without kneading, lots of air bubbles can occur which will cause the cracking. Great vid man!

Seriously great video and it also had me laughing a lot! Especially when you messed up the one and your comment after Lol! Very informative and helpful. Pretty cool, I'm going to try this.

That was so fun.im actualy making something with clay and this helped me alot cause now i will wait for it to dry before fireing! Thank you for sharing with us

THERMAL SHOCK. Great video, commendable way to experience pottery. Too sudden a temperature change can cause the pot to crack. Also even when the pot is bone dry more moisture comes out in the firing. If the beginning of the firing is to sudden the steam cannot leave the inside of the pot fast enough and the steam causes pressure inside and explodes or partially explodes. (Goggles) Put pots near the fire to begin - the pots around the heat or the heat around the pots. From the fire ash, cover the pots in warm ash making two fires, then from the first fire use hotter ash over the pots, then glowing small sticks, then larger ones. This way you don't fan the kiln fire, only the first fire. They cool pots in water in Raku firing but then they have a clay with a lot of grog added, which makes it less likely to suffer the thermal shock. You can make your own grog by grinding raw clay into a dust then fire the dust and then wedge it into your clay. It can also make the clay easier to shape and model. Be great to see you make a small clay kiln wall and arch roof, flue ,fire box etc for higher temperature, but even then unless the kiln is a tried and tested design it is unlikely to reach the vitrification point of the clay(non porous) You could use a mound of earth to make a former for the arch. The kiln will harden with the first firing. You being able to throw with one hand like that means you have the skill potential. Your wheel has no splash bath to rest and brace your elbows on, so brace your elbows against your sides and brace you hands with each other and don't give in to the pressure of the spinning clay to push you hands outward or fingers further apart. With braced arms firmly push the clay into the centre . Have fun and make another video , Thanks.

Need to come up and come down several times to center clay. Don't begin to form a pot until clay is well centered-NO wobble! Pots need thorough drying before firing to prevent cracks.. Usually put pots around outside edge of fire before firing in a fire

Man, what a great video showing the pottery process literally from start to finish. Couldn't help but notice the fact that everything you did, aside from utilizing the kick wheel, a match, newspaper, the recording device, and the scraping tool, was primitive (i.e using stone to break up dried earth and fire for curing the clay). Wonderful, wonderful work. Good skills to have towards the end of the world, eh? Thank you for sharing.

@Josie Varela, Have you guys, commenting, ever thought that we Native Americans do not consider our work, nor the traditional techniques of our ancestors, specific to each separate tribe, as "primitive." Buying something at Wal Mart, already made, somehow makes you more advanced? Let's see you pull off what my ancestors, and tribe, have! Doubt that you can! --------- I am a Cherokee, and my ancestors used pit firing. I think that the step modern pit firing leaves out, most likely because of using a wheel to "throw," a pot, rather than hand make it, is the step of using a smooth object such as a spoon, to rub the clay. It makes partially dried clay, you guys call greenware, shiner, a slicker surface. Also, the key to the clay not cracking is a super slow warming up, gradually getting the clay hot in the fire, and a slow cooling down process. Instead of setting the pots down on hot coals, gradually move them closer in, and on the cool down, gradually move them off the coals and out of the fire. Also, make sure that the pot passes the fingernail test, can you push your fingernail into it, if so it needs to be fired at a hotter temperature.

Human brain: ah what lovely clay distillation, it’s so smooth and lovely Monkey brain: hnngh peanuut buuterr

“Im pulling the clay up in a non perverted way”😂

Hey I'm a fellow experienced Potter here, if you pots blow out a bottom like the did, they were not dry enough and some moisture dried really fast creating a gas that busted the pot. Dry it slower if you can, and fire low to hottest if you can. Keep it up though!!!! 🤩

Suzanne Harris would you also add the dust of previously fired clay or anything (something) else -I think it’s called grog? Would that help or is it not necessary? Also are there other resources or videos that you recommend to inexperienced folks? Thanks!

Significantly more time wedging the clay, and better thermal transitions would make a massive difference with that too.

l love how you showed the process of obtaining and making rhe clay. lt's not something that you see very often in videos like this and it definitely adds to the entertainment. Good work!!

one of the reasons why your pottery cracked is because you didn't get all of the air out of the clay before throwing the cla. you really have to kneed the clay for a while otherwise a wonderful video

I live in Brazil and I really like your videos. My English is not good if some word is wrong it was bad.

You are so genuine that you have shown both beautiful and broken pots !!

I, Nephi, having been born of goodly parents, therefore I was taught somewhat in all the learning of my father; and having seen many afflictions in the course of my days, nevertheless, having been highly favored of the Lord in all my days; yea, having had a great knowledge of the goodness and the mysteries of God, therefore I make a record of my proceedings in my days. Yea, I make a record in the language of my father, which consists of the learning of the Jews and the language of the Egyptians. And I know that the record which I make is true; and I make it with mine own hand; and I make it according to my knowledge". 1 Nephi 1-3 Hello friends, I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. The verses above are the first three verses in The Book of Mormon. I know this probably isn't the most ideal place to talk about religion but I really do want you to know that God loves you. You may not love Him or care about Him at all, but He still will continue to love you. You are a beloved son or daughter of God. He knows you personally and He truly and deeply desires for your happiness. He loves everyone who has every lived on this earth, with a perfect equal love regardless of their race, gender, ethnicity, faith and values and beliefs. The Lord loves you more than you can think or comprehend. "He inviteth them all to come unto him and partake of his goodness; and he denieth none that come unto him, black and white, bond and free, male and female; and he remembereth the heathen; and all are alike unto God, both Jew and Gentile" 2 Nephi. He is our loving, caring Heavenly Father. We are literally His children and creations. When we were in the womb, he knew about us" Jerimiah 4:5. He knitted us and we were created in His image. I testify to you that you and I are not a mistake. He knows the very moment when we stand and when we sit. He is familiar with all our ways and knows us personally who we are. The hairs on our very head are numbered. God loved us so much, He sent His Only Begotten Son for us, that we may be able to return and dwell in the presence of God again. The Lord has not forgotten about us even when it feels like He has. He will never forsake us. When we are happy, He and His angels rejoice alongside us. When we are sad, He heals us and lifts us up from our trials. He has always been there for us. He has always been our loving, compassionate Heavenly Father and God. Will we always be His children and people? I testify to you that God lives and that Jesus is the Christ. Both love you exceedingly and rejoice when you are happy. They both love you so much. They love you with a love unfeigned. They will never ever stop doing good unto you. I know that The Book of Mormon is true. "And when ye shall receive these things, I would exhort you that ye would ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ, if these things are not true; and if ye shall ask with a sincere heart, with real intent, having faith in Christ, he will manifest the truth of it unto you, by the power of the Holy Ghost". Moroni 10:4 I promise and testify to you, that if you will read The Book of Mormon, ponder on its message and ask God if it is not true, you will come to know of its truthfulness, whether its true or not true. Remember my friends that God loves you with all his heart, might mind, soul and strength. He wants you to be happy. He knows what you are going through and dealing with right now. He desires for you to return back to Him. Unfortunately, He has been misrepresented and seen as a cruel and angry God who anticipates for us to slip and writes down every mistake we make waiting to punish us by those who do not know or know Him fully. My friends, God has stored many opportunities and blessings for you. He is incredibly eager and desires with all His heart to bless you abundantly. He wants you to live with Him again. He only wants the best for you and your well being. He wants to experience everlasting joy and indescribable happiness in this life and in the life to come. He wants you to partake of His goodness and come and follow Him. The Lord does not care how early or late you decide to come unto Him. I testify to you that if you have strayed and wondered off the path that there is peace and hope in Jesus Christ, The Savior of the world. The Lord accepts those who come unto Him whether your early, late or just in time who desire to change. The Lord will accept you wholeheartedly and forgive you if you are willing to change. The Lord will welcome you and will always be ready to embrace you with open arms. The Lord will lift us up in our trials and use us to bless the lives of those around us if we are willing to change. If you desire to learn more, you are always welcome to visit comeuntochrist.org. There you will learn more about The Church of Jesus Christ and our core beliefs and values. If you have taken the time to read The Book of Mormon and this comment, thank you. It takes a huge leap of faith and a lot of courage to muster enough faith to read in the Book of Mormon and to believe in something in a personage that you may never see in this lifetime. Although we may not be able to see God and Jesus Christ in this life, I testify to you that they are real. They do truly exist. I promise you that if you will pray to know of their existence, you will come to know whether they exist or have been made up. You are my friends. The Lord loves you and is aware of you and despite all our weaknesses and shortcomings, he still loves us and will forgive us if we will humble ourselves before Him and diligently seek correction and do whatever is needed to repent. Remember that The Lord is always available to talk to through prayer 24/7. No question sounds too silly for Him. James wrote, "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him" James 1:5. If you must know whether or not something is true or evil and deceptive, you can always pray to God. He will help you know what the truth is and what is not the truth. He will never be too busy to talk to. He will give you strength you need to overcome and conquer your temptations and will give you the strength you need to endure through your trials and afflictions. Paul said that The Lord will not give you temptations that you cannot resist, but that in your temptations, He will provide a way for you to resist, overcome and conquer them. He will provide a way. He wants to bless you and reward you abundantly in Spiritual and physical things. The Lord knows you and will not forget you. You are loved. You are utterly amazing. You have incredible potential. You are not forgotten or ever will be forsaken. You are special. You are unique. You are one of a kind. You have been reserved for this time and The Lord needs you on His side. It simply would not be the same without you. That is just how much the Lord need you on His side. Thank you for your time.

Drying time before firing should be about a week usually - thinner is better down to about 1/4 finished thickness. Pre heat your pieces by placing them around the edge of your fire for a few hours before moving them into the fire. time in a full blown fire should typically be atleast 12 hours - I have a wood fired brick kiln I built and often times even 12 hours is not enough. Cracks and breakage happen due to thermal shock so after you run the fire for as long as you think is good and as hot as you can. Then cover it and let it cools slowly. Thermal shock can happen from cooling to quick just like heating up to quick. Don't pour water on them etc. Let them cool slowly. My kiln takes 12 to 24 hours to cool. If you cant handle them bare handed your taking them out to early. Also research burnishing and terra sigilatta both are methods of making the finished pot more impervious to water and Terra sig can also provide a way to decorate if thats of interest. Lastly your finished wares since they will still absorb water will not take kindly to freezing when wet. So keep them dry if and when they will be exposed to freezing temperatures.

nice to see your centering improvement! BTW i cracked a lot of pots when first trying directly firing them. i then realized i could warm them up over some low heat for about 30 mins / 1 hour before starting the real fire, and it worked, no more cracking.

I'm no expert but isn't soaking them in the water right after baking them in fire kind of invasive? Cooling them slowly would, maybe, be a better solution ?

He also needed to knead the clay dough until it had no air inside (basically until it gets gray-ish). He didn't do that which both makes it harder to paint and more likely to break.

Ok I've read a lot of comments and what I'm going too tell might be a repeat but I don't want to leave anything out. I really don't have a better way too get the clay because I always bought my clay. But hey, kudos man, got it going on! Ok I like that you know it needs to be "soft". And the softness is according to how you like it. It is much better to knead the clay like making bread. Kneading is done to get the tiny bubbles out. If you don't knead properly you can actually put bubbles in. People don't know that I guess bc I didn't see where anyone said that. So in kneading have the clay fairly soft and don't cut your time short, this is a very important step. Looks like you took to the wheel like a champ. I can't use a kick wheel because of my back. I use the electric wheel, with speed control. I'd like too say I loved the part where your piece slung off the rim. The slow motion was great! I've heard people trying to tell you how thick to make things or how thin I should say. The thickness is responsible for your drying time calculations. Need to get rid of bubbles, and dry slow to prevent breakage. Any moisture is against your best outcome. Dry your pieces slow. I have always made my pieces very thick. When I was being taught in college my instructor told me mine were way too thick. When I told him I don't like the thin pieces then he helped me be successful. He taught me to dry my pieces slow. Some pieces had to be wrapped in cloth or paper and took extra time to make sure the pieces were absolutely dry. If when being fired the thickness holds moisture deep in the clay then when the extreme heat reaches the moisture it will cause the piece to literally explode. So dry completely, and slowly. No bubbles. I've never used a pit fire, but I think that if your pieces are completely dry then I don't see why they should get black. I think the black is attaching to the wetness, like it seeks it out. Also I think enough people have said this but it is necessary. Don't put water on hot pottery. If there are any little bubbles that would have made it through the fire but the extreme difference in temperature will finish the cracking and breaking of the piece. So... Dry them slowly, and cool them slowly. I love what you have done. I'm interested to see if you create colors in your clay and painted slip. Can't wait. Good job....no.... GREAT JOB! THANKS FOR SHARING.

You did an amazing job of finding the clay, mixing it and throwing for the first time. Kudos for having the courage to video your efforts and then publish on KZread! I have been potting for 30 years and I’ve yet to make a video of my process. The cracking you experienced was probably because they heated to quickly and unevenly. It can also happen when there is an air bubble trapped inside because it was not wedged enough. Keep up the good work.

I didn't notice this part... but worth mentioning.... when the clay is in solution run it through a sieve to catch rocks, pebbles, grains of sand, etc.

At first thought you were returning the clay to the beach lol....

When you drop a water on a pot when it is Hot the pot crashes.

Awesome work. Nice to see you work with materials outside your comfort zone. Looks like a lot of fun to learn. Keep it up mate.

It is! but also very frustrating. Thanks.

I heated up a light bulb and immediately put water on it and the bulb burst. Just a suggestion.

Excellent!!! Thank you very much!! Great video showing the complete natural process, perfect for my students!!

Hey friend! Great video! I was inspired by how you sourced your clay! Here's a friendly tip! I realize you were maybe somewhere public, but try waiting for the pots to cool before disturbing. Cool water probably cracked your pots! If it can be helped, wait until the fire is dead before moving the pot around (clay is brittle when hot, and hardens only after it cools off). Thanks again for the demonstration for making clay! ^_^ Great video

How was the smell of cray in the bucket...?

Not really a smell tbh but depends on what type and where you got it

*i just love how he doesn’t care if his shoes get wet most youtubers would be like oh no my yeezys!*

It just speech less sir.. I learn so many life lessons through this vedio bcas am a Christian nd my god compared vth a potter so he is my potter of my life through this vedio I came know that how my god moulds me vth his hands nd I also came to know that how much he is skillful as a potter..nd to the end I hope I won't get any cracks nd breaks in his hands nd also I won't let him disappointed...sss I don't....

Not bad , learning to center the clay is one of harder parts. Also when you wire the piece to get it off, wire from the back of the piece and pull towards you keeping the wire flush to the base of the wheel. Sourcing your own clay was cool to see. Knead it more next time to get out air bubbles that can make your piece explode or crack during firing. Took pottery in high school and I really loved it. Makes me want to take a class again.

There are many reasons that this would crack: 1. Filtered clay with mesh may contain large sand bits so use a silk screen after that. 2 . Let the pottery cool by its own pouring water on hot pottery is a surefire way for it to crack..

Nice and honest vid.. "Shaping it in a non perverted way´ hahahahjah

Well I can say awesome, you inspired me. Thank you so much and would like to see your better results... The cracks are due to not kneeding the clay enough. You have to kneed it more better add little sand so that the cracks won't form.

Hey there after firing some clay try smashing them up into a fine sand (some people call it grog) then add it to some workable clay. This helps retain shape and reduce cracking (sculpture clay bodies have high grog content).

To find the center grab all clay on the wheel and hook strong. This is my "tactic".

3:04 thought that was a lady in a dress standing next to you

thanks for showing us this process. this is probably how i would do, if i ever make my own pottery from the clays in by backyard

I learned much from this. Thanks for sharing your successes and mistakes. Cheers, - Martin

через минуту хотелось руки оторвать. Ну Вы и ущербники. любой русский школьник, первый раз сев за кружало, вытянуть сможет в разы лучше. глину перевел.

У меня по другому поводу бомбануло. Я хоть и никогда не делал подобного но прекрасно понимаю что водой на расколенную деталь чего бы то нибыло лить нельзя. Нужно дать остыть самостоятельно. Ну на крайняк поместить в камеру с отводом тепла вентилятором или типо того

Since now I realize how easy it is to get clay. Who wouldn't try to make Pottery? Looks fun

I'd like to see you kiln fire some of that yellow clay, the color I could see on your pots was quite interesting. I think it would come out beautiful.

Great job!A lesson on how to survive!Thanks!I will never forget)))
