Hey Andy..been away for a while catching up on your vids..that is just great what you have made..the shape so well executed, amazed how your clay firms up to smooth the base out so quick..on the edge of my seat as you turn it over..Man would love some clay body like that..great work as always

A good clay with lots of wet strength is the most valuable thing to a hand building potter. This is a good one, actually a blend of two clays, one that is soft and moldable and another that is firm and strong.

Hi Andy, THANKS for all ur wonderful vids. !! Total beginner. Paid member ( as of today ) I'm trying to find out from any experienced person about ash glazes with low temperature firing pottery eg in an open outside fire like in many of ur vids. Did u use white ash , grey ash or black ash please ? A recipe would be REALLY appreciated!! (For those wondering .. White ash comes from any wood burnt at really high temperatures eg in a kiln . Grey ash medium temperatures. Black ash is usually not fully burnt because of low temperatures eg u dampened the fire down for the night.

@AncientPottery

2 жыл бұрын

Hi welcome and thanks for the membership. It is my understanding that ash glaze requires a temperature of 1300 C to achieve and you cannot reach that temp in an outdoor fire. I have never even reached that temperature in my kiln, so not sure if it is doable at all.

Fantastic job Andy, can't wait to see it fired. Question about organic paint, Do they remain sticky or smudge if not handled well before firing? I know your container of paint when it is dry is very thick and plastic like, are they like that also once painted on the pot? Oh and I wish to congratulate you. I have been following your channel for about a year now and remember (with the help of video dates) that just 4 months ago you hit the 15K subscribers mark. And now today your at 31K plus. May your success on KZread continue to grow. We love your videos thank you for making them.

@AncientPottery

2 жыл бұрын

Thanks. The organic paint on the pot is generally dry to the touch, feels a little rubbery but not sticky. When I am working on the pot I will often sit it outside in the sun for a few minutes so the paint will firm up before I move on to another part of the pot that I way I won't smudge it or leave sticky fingerprints. But I live in Arizona where the relative humidity is usually very low. When we have humidity the paint can get sticky again, so your mileage may vary based on the weather where you live. I had a two year old video blow up recently, then a couple of weeks later another, so I ended up adding something like 10,000 subscribers in a little over a month. Now it is back down to a more normal level. I wish I could figure out how to do that again.

try "lapiz lazuli" pigment as blue paint

@AncientPottery

2 жыл бұрын

I think that would be an interesting experiment, but not for this pot as it is a reproduction of a pot that was decorated with organic paint.

Just because you asked, your pot has much cleaner lines. Maybe too clean. What was that type of pot used for? Cooking, storage, serving or something else? Also, about how much time do you spend painting? I know it would depend, but roughly? Are we talking 30min, an hour or many hours?

@AncientPottery

2 жыл бұрын

Thanks, there is definitely a tendency with modern potters to make them too perfect, our standards are too high. I have seen it with other, really talented replicates like the Thornburgs or Swink where the replica is just too good. I don't believe anyone knows what these were for, someone will need to do a study to look for food residues inside or something like that. Painting takes me hours, this one, because the designs were relatively large and bold was probably in the neighborhood of 3 hours. Others can take much more depending on the intricacies of the design.

so, can i just fire some clay, thin sheets, and then grind them up and use that powder as temper?

@AncientPottery

We all need more time

does keeping an unfired piece for extended periods of time jeopardize the "integrity"? of the piece in the firing process? obviously you have a dry climate but is it possible in certain climates for a "dry" piece to wick up enough moisture to be an issue? love your content... i made a pipe to smoke out of from the clay that was stuck to the bottom of my sshoes after digging up some land to make a garden plot and fired it in a pit fire one night just to see if it would survive and 8 years later i still have the same pipe :)

@AncientPottery

2 жыл бұрын

No, I have had unfired pots sitting around for years before firing, it makes no difference. You should always pre-heat the pots before firing to drive off any remaining moisture, this will prevent most breakage.

Can we use iron oxide and clay mixture for slip?

@AncientPottery

2 жыл бұрын

Yes, that would work just fine.

Hey Andy! I am fairly new to pottery so I have a few question if you dont mind. What rocks and minerals would you recommend for painting your pottery? And, are the pigments you use/recommend food safe? If not, what earth pigments are food safe? Are there any rocks/minerals i should avoid? Do the earth pigments stay on if you add water into/onto the pottery piece? Sorry for all the questions, Im trying to find the cheapest and best way to fufill my new-found hobby. Thanks (edit) Extra question: Can you pit fire pottery made from any mid-fire stoneware clay?

@AncientPottery

2 жыл бұрын

Check out my playlist on pottery paint, this is too complex a subject to cover in a comment. Organic pottery paint is the most non toxic, I generally don’t use mineral paint on pots I will be eating from. I always dig my own clay so I wouldn’t know a “mid range stone ware clay” from a hole in the ground. But in my experience just about any clay can be fired outdoors like that if it has some extra temper added to it. Watch this video kzread.info/dash/bejne/oGWu2baqnNiad6w.html

I'm thinking to make a pitcher. In India we use picher's water for drinking Will the water get colder than room temp in it? What would be the process

@AncientPottery

The process would be about the same as that for making any pot except it would need a handle and a spout added. An earthenware pitcher would keep the water inside cooler, that's how they used to keep water cool around here before refrigeration.
