Welcome to the Folklife Chronicle. Our mission is to shine a light on the rich and diverse cultural elements that make up the American personality. We will be concentrating for now on the historic and cultural makeup of Pennsylvania and the surrounding areas. Why? That's where we live, and we wanted to start our journey in our own backyard. We'll be exploring that which many of us take for granted, or simply do not see at all.
We'll be looking at art, music, dance, farming, cooking and a whole host of other topics as we discover them for ourselves. We invite you to subscribe to our channel, and come along for the journey.

All the craftspeople living in a village were important in providing the necessary household goods for each family. But woodworking was a very specialized trade.

Originally produced in 1998 for PBS, this documentary traces the arrival of the PA Dutch in America, along with their visual culture.
Have u ever seen. One Let Get Dull I haven’t. And They got em Very Visible facing. Main roads. And They stay off our Grid almost like A Sign. That at the right time they will need someone To See. To identify them and Maybe pass them By …. Just saying lololol😂
Absolutely beautiful ❤️
My heart needed this
❤
hex signs are occultic - alot of the amish type folk practice witchcraft....
I was surprised when I saw this . We do have something very similar found in English churches from the medieval period . Some of these marks were said to trap witches . I do hope you find it interesting . ua-cam.com/video/YaPPiesRE5I/v-deo.html

Great story at the end, runic Folk magic done by someone who "just does art", it's a form of the hagal rune.
Hi Ned, I used to do shows and met you at Annandale, Va. Glad to see you are still potting, we moved to Canada and pot up here. Take care. Vaughan
Man can rationalize anything
At what temperature do u fire red clay, in my country it goes upto 1050 max.
The firing temperature depends on the clay. I can get local red clay and have to fire at 1150°C. Last year I was in Sicily and talked to a few potters in Caltagirone. They fire their Terra Cotta around 1030°C. It depends on what you´re working with.
1:11 gas powered tractor--that's an Amish no-no. That guy's likely Mennonite.
Needed this for a school assignment
I love your video! I remember seeing you at the Kutztown Fair decades ago. I am from New York, but when I was much younger, my family used to go to Kutztown every so often specifically for the fair.
So that's what CBS got their idea for the eye logo.
Interesting ! Liebich reminds me of my old Master :-) He said the same (3:47) : A furniture maker will never get rich, but for the right kind of man it's the best job in the world. I'm not a fan of 'aged' finishes myself, but a man must make a living and if the customers like it why not ? (and the ageing looks well done, if perhaps a bit excessive) Thanks for posting from a Norwegian furniture maker.
How incredibly fascinating
Their clay was not red, it was brown and the iron within it turned it red, finding red clay in New England would be like finding gold in the toilet after you turn ok a shite.
It depends on where you get your clay from. Brown comes from maganese and no matter how much iron you add, it´ll always fire dark brown because of the manganese. Iron inpurities turn red when less or no manganese is present.
There were no hex signs on german farms or barns in the 17th and 18th century. Not in what is now Germany anyway. There was no decoration at all. See Google.
So today what they make....FAKES!!....
Where can I get more information about Walter Liebich that is in the video?
Is Georgia Red Clay and Red Clay Pottery the same material? I heard Red Clay cannot be used for cooking, storaging food or hold water as it is not cured. Is this information correct?
Jesus Llenza if you glaze it with a gloss you can but it is so porous and correct uncured and unsafe for edibles before glaze
Red clay is just white clay with iron oxide in it. It´s the most common type of clay and can be found in many places all over the globe. You can use it for cooking. Cookware made of red clay was common in Europe till iron or copper pots were available. The trick is to fire it at a low temperature. I still make pie dishes out of red clay.
LoL, That looks just like the cat Lester had living in his work shop, I guess a great potter needs a free spirited cat in the work shop.
I like it! and cats too)))
A great pottery video with bonus cats.
Those signs are TO big... !!! By the way. .Dutch is not German !! ( for some/a lott of Americans who didn't know ) i'm Dutch living in the Netherlands (Holland) but by all means, ... is this another example of what kind of reputation the Americans have in Europe, ...by over-doing (as we literally say), these 'Dutch' Hex signs/shilds....? !??. They also presume that these shilds/sheelds are common in the Netherlands (Holland)..??!!!!? Well the're not ❗ Not to be all negative about it or all to critical towards American appreciation, but. ... : first of all, - even if we still see/ use these Hex-signs on b a r n n s or other personal outdoors farmly-like farm signments..., * We / I, myself / foreigners; tourists /... , most likely won't see them here in Holland (the Netherlands) , or.., when if, ... very sumire, mostly small scaled/numbered in the north provinces or,... some small populated, very Catholic tight -very family-bonded- community, authentic, rural villages in Brabant or Zealand (provinces in the south). But most significant, these or mostly viewable; at (architeca speaking) older looking/build, barns and/or stables. And, as I said and want to point out, ....,most significantly , .... These are in most cases positioned in the 'nok' 🛐top, of the triagle-roofed front(al)side of the barn roughly maximum average size 20x30 cm. (rearly just only circular shape attachment)...!!! Commonly the Hex-sign symbols are first attached to a wooden under-plank (diamond, hexagon, pentagon or rectangular up/down pointed or arrow) shaped in a one-colour natural painted shade.

no Dutch is not German, but English speakers confused the sound of "deutsch" (aka: German) with "Dutch", hence Pennsylvania Dutch.
Ever hear of Deutschland? That's where the word Dutch comes from in Pennsylvania. You are a typical Euro crybaby crying about a non subject. May I suggest you get a little more knowledge before you start babbling about Americans. Oh, we don't think of you.
all of the symbols used Hex signs come from ancient Germanic folk symbols, many are from pre-Christian runes that denote the sun and other mythical signs. The earl German settlers brought these traditions with them to American. Often their original meanings have been lost to Americans, but a trip to central Europe and you will see the same symbols in various places, even carved in ancient stones.
THANK YOU. They needed to get their facts straight!
Interesting comment, and I tend to agree, although as this historical storyteller begins with the preacher, much is the same overlap of Christianity and German Old Norse Culture.
Nail guns?
fantastic. ...I'm so glad to hear your not going to cnc equipment. I feel the very same way about using computers to build furniture. It seems sacreliges to me. Thanks for a great video.
you should have taken some classes in college........
Reminds me of intricate crop circles, flower of life and the story, vision boards.
I live on an island in Hawaii which has a lot of red dirt, clay. I recently dug some up and made clay out of it. Did a test piece to fire. It did fire and didn't break when struck against something. Although later it ws brittle and did crumble. My other test piece which I got from a darker gray red area seemed to be moreplastic and held up better in the firing process and is still all together. I was wondering what I could do to make the red clay here more plastic . Hold together better in firing? I am brand new to making pottery and am fascinated by the pueblo pottery and want to make stuff like that with Hawaiian petroglyph designs painted on it . Could you give me some hints on this.? Mahalo
Very old comment, but one way to make clay more plastic is to add something basic to neutralize the clay. Traditionally this might be wood ash but many additives can work, even crushed sea shells (calcium carbonate)
@@mcRydes To make it more plastic, you can add some bentonite. That stuff make a huge difference.
Wonderful!
Very fun! I'm Pennsy Dutch (half). I've owned American country furniture with original paint jobs -- 18th c. The pretty blue chest I had and sold later (wow, it was worth a lot!) had a lovely pale blue milk paint all over. It was a country item so was a bit chipped but still very, very pretty. I live in France now and enjoyed a nice visit to Alsace. It was fun to "see my face all over," and see the pretty paintings and colors they put on their buildings and everyday objects. Primitive and naive in style, they often reflected the beauty of nature and are quite pleasant to behold.
Very informative. Beautiful work! Hope to see more soon.
