Making Polychrome Pottery, Slipping and Painting
In this video I finish the pot I made by coiling last week, painting it with colored clays and minerals and decorating with organic paint. I will be uploading a video of this pot b being fired in two weeks. Follow this little jar through the process.

Viewing this from the outside, the ancient way of making pottery, applying the slip and painting, then firing appears to be an exercise in patience. During their time and being used utilitarian and fragile in nature they must have been highly prized and cherished possessions. Are there any evidence the technique was keep within a small group of artisans or was the knowledge shared with other tribes/groups? Thanks for sharing.
Wow! I love your videos Andy! I was so excited when I came upon them, it’s the exact thing I was hoping to find. One question, what exactly is the white paint? Is it a mineral? I remember you said you find it at specific place but just curious what it is and if there is another mineral I could find in my area perhaps (North TX) that would be similar.
Professional pin stripers use squirrel tail brushes. Research it.
Love your videos. Sorry if you've covered this already since I haven't gotten thru all your videos. Have you ever tried adding the red color pigment to the clay before you form the pots?
Have you tried dipping in a slurry of your slip? I've noticed when wet processing some wild clay, after allowing the clay to settle out of the water and tapping off much of the clear water, that you'll be left with a very even almost paint like substance. At least when dunking my hands in it to give a gentle mix before transferring, it made a very even, thin layer of clay on my hands. Perhaps the ancient technique was to simply dunk a pot down in that material.
Have you made a video on how to make the paint from mesquite beans?
Hi Andy, I'm wondering about your polishing stone, is it a stone that has been run through a fine rock polisher, or is it just a smooth river stone? How polished does my polishing stone need to be?
I'm in Mississippi and how would I get the slips and paints from out west can I buy from you or you know some one I can get some from
Have you ever tried poke berry as a paint?
