Making and Firing Primitive Pottery

Ойын-сауық

In this video Jeff Martin shows you how to craft a Prehistoric wingfield plain ware style jar. Once the jar is fully dry we then fire it in oxidation turning raw clay into a fire hardened ceramic. If you enjoy wilderness living and primitive survival, this video is a must watch!

    I've done a primitive pottery course in the UK a while ago and it was good to use this video as a refresh, thanks.

    It would be useful to know how long they dried out prior to firing. Nice video.

    Thanks man, and my condolences for your loss. I've been thinking of trying to make some clay containers for candles, but wasn't sure how hard it'd be. I think I can do it now.

    Shipping is pricy but new mexico clay is a store with a website, they sell a clay mined near Albuquerque called mica clay that sinters as low as 1200 f and gives nice fire clouds like the one in this video. Very nice clay to work with

    I'd guess you're not concerned about calcium carbonate in your clay. With that amount and size of wood, you could expect 1600F at peak, no?

    Thx for sharing, fine video. We would enjoy it also if you skipped music (beautiful) and let hear the sounds of processing. Silence and natural soundscape is beautiful while making pottery, isn't it? Just a thought. Thank you again for sharing your skills. 💚
