  4 Potential problems and how to solve it. 1. Air bubbles in clay make sure you'r bottom part of the pot don't have air bubbles. 2. Not enough preheating, longer is better. 3. Moisture in the wood or coal. Make sure your burning material is completely dry. 4. Bad processed or generally low quality clay or grog.

• 
  @airstreamwanderings368314 сағат бұрын

  Good question. I think the key was making sure the pot is 100% dry and preheated. And also it was set too close to very hot coals.

  might want to try adding other types of clay (ball clay, bentonite clay, etc.), from what I understand having more varieties of clay and clay size particles in a clay body will increase/improve the plasticity. the smaller particle clay will fill in the empty gaps of the bigger clay particles. You might also want to try adding fiber/paper pulp, the cellulose fibers will help create links to help the particles hold on to each other better, as in fired paper clay. adding a little Sodium Silicate/water glass might also help flux and make the clay particles more sticky to each other. Just throwing more ideas your way for future experiments :) All the best!

  Thanks, Wes. As always, well-done. I plan to replicate Chaco Culture Chocolate Jars, so I'm delighted that I found this video. I recently watched a video by Andy Ward, in which he said that the ancient pottery makers in SW USA/NW Mexico never "pulled" handles. They always riveted. It makes sense, as any attachment is inherently weak. Wouldn't it be fun to time-travel and find that ancient potter who came up with riveting?

  Yes I did polish them a bit before painting. Whether some slips accept paint differently is a great question which I have not tested. I know you need smectite clay to accept organic paint but I don't know if there is a difference with mineral paints. I will have to put than on the to-do list.

  I love that black sheen! I've tried it once with a small bowl completely immersed in tamarisk needles, and l had a similar black finish. I want to do that again. Out of curiosity, I later refired that bowl in oxidation, and it went right back to its normal red color. Now I'm wondering how well that carbon seals the pores.

•

  The black does not rub off but I really don't know whether it does much to seal up the pot. Was there a functional reason for smudging or was it purely aesthetic?

  That is a beautiful pot. Thank you for taking us through all the iterations to get there. This is not a suggestion, because I am just learning, but I wondered if you put wet sand or mud around the pot lip to seal in the organic matter, might that create the smudge you are looking for would the whole thing blow up? My Hostas hate heat, how do yours survive the fire and heat so close to them? I live in New Mexico, so there is that climate consideration, but they are fighting the good fight...

  Hi Wes. I enjoyed your video. I invert the pot onto the combustibles, as you did with the two smaller pots. One thing I do which gets my pots a good smudge is I use dried pine needles and leaves as the combustibles. I think the resins, and other volatile oils in the organic material, make the smudge better (hotter so more carbon is released) as opposed to using shredded paper, which, admittedly, I have not tried. If you give it a try I’d love to see the results!🌻
