If you are interested in learning how to coil pottery as shown here, check out this video which will help you master the coil and scrape technique ua-cam.com/video/kfaOgcyTHlc/v-deo.html
Appreciate your work chief…..impressive….I wish though you were a little more true to the patterns and designs of the original pottery….usually they told a story and can sometimes be recreated through similar motifs in modern kinsmen et cetera…..god bless
Seriously? I feel like this is pretty close to the original, I didn't copy exactly like my diamond under the rim are narrower etc, but isn't it like 90% the same? I have a friend who copies everything on a pot exactly, even little mistakes like line overruns etc. Me, I try to get the spirit of the original but do it all freehand the way a potter would have actually made a copy in 1350.
@@AncientPottery lol.....its good chief.......can you do tutorials on utilitarian styles of vessels.....it would be much appreciated....I think that is what led me to your channel originally.....finding clay video I believe.....I am trying to get into a position I can raise a family in simple ways on a piece of land....far away from that....and ceramics is definitely a piece of the puzzle.....god bless
I know I'm necroposting here, but I really love seeing two channels who look at American History and Archeology interact like this on youtube. Intensely cool. You both do really good stuff and make youtube a great platform
Those little icons floating over the screen to prompt one to like the video are great. I so often enjoy vids so much that I forget to hit the like button
While I'm interested in styles and techniques from other cultures as well, I agree with you not wanting to spread yourself too thin. Ancient crafts creators of all cultures spent the better parts of their lives perfecting their own local methods and products, and your expertise is hard-won. There are others who do replicas of different pottery cultures, and as an educator and researcher, you have a lot to offer in this quite remarkable and beautiful specialty.
Thanks! I think it's the channel name, people see "ancient pottery" and expect me to cover ALL ancient pottery, then later get disappointed that I seem stuck on one type. The truth is that "Andy Ward's Ancient Pottery of the American Southwest" doesn't exactly roll off the tongue, so it was shortened. And I got there first so the next guy will have to name his channel "Ancient Mesopotamian Pottery" or whatever.
@@AncientPottery Last July my wife and I visited Tuscon. The Arizona State Museum was closed, but we toured the Tuscon Museum of Art. They had a display of pre-Inca Moche pottery from Peru that absolutely blew me away. I believe that was made by the coil and scrape method as well, although it included some almost photo-realistic portrait heads of notable nobles from the time. There's just so much variety out there and so many styles that no one person could even begin to scratch the surface of most of them. I haven't settled into a preferred style yet, but I can't imagine a better introduction than the work you are doing.
Gorgeous work Andy! A short walk out to the nearest soap-root plant is the only thing I see standing between you and a Tonto Polychrome replicator! Thanks once more for the inspiration. I'm off to the studio! 😀
@@AncientPotteryI can assure you, that anything I do doesn't approach that what I just watched you make...but I love doing it all the same. Hey, I sent you a message with my email on your contact page yesterday. I look forward to hearing from you!
@@AncientPotteryNo worries Andy. I just wanted to make sure you got it. I'll get some authentic New Mexico brush-stock worked up for you in the meantime... 😁
Perfect yet again..just amazed at your work ..and by chance I have just got a pot similar shape I coiled today and was wondering what style of paint to do...think I know now ..thanks 😅
I am doing an oil lamp soon, but don't expect me to go too deep on Mediterranean pottery. I won't be trying Greek polychrome pottery or anything like that.
@@springbloom5940 Sorry, there is nothing I would rather do than fulfill a request from one of my subscribers. I just don't have access to the right materials or the ancient pottery and sherds to give the kind of attention to detail I give to Southwestern pottery to any other kind. I plan on touching on various ancient pottery from all over in the future, but it will only be a brief look or nod to that tradition. My focus has to be those traditions local to me otherwise I would need to do a lot of traveling and I will need a lot more subscribers to afford that.
When you use yucca fruit (which I have an abundance of) Do you boil down green or dry fruit? Also considering Brear Rabbit molassis for paint. Thanks, Michael
I would imagine that just about any organic paint would work. Molases might bubble anx bleed, though. No experience with doing this, just from a scientific perspective.
@@AncientPottery Am I correct in the assumption that organic paints are merely a carbon source. Is there any other element, or mineral you may be looking for in one?
I have pukis of many different sizes. Some are only 3 inches across and others are 15 inches across. I select the size puki I want based on the size of pot I am making.
Thank you. I do know a little but tend not to talk about it because it's not really my place to interpret these. I would love to get a Native potter to help me with a video about that someday.
Can to teach how to make clay bottles In india I have seen potters make clay bottles with Pottery wheel Can you make without pottery wheel and how to fire them Thanks for amazing content💕
Yes, you can make them without a wheel and fire without a kiln, I have lots of videos about this process. Are the bottles shaped similar to the pot in this video? ua-cam.com/video/kfaOgcyTHlc/v-deo.html

I can't say enough how satisfying these videos are to watch. Beautifully done!
Thanks a lot! I am still working hard to figure out the right format for these types of videos so you feedback really helps.

Beautiful. I can see the pride in your face. Well earned 👍
Thank you so much 😀
Amazing. Beautiful work. Andy, you're a true Master of those ancient beauties replicas. Huge respect 👏 and thank you so much for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks.
Beautiful Andy!
Glad you liked it.
Wow, Sir! All smiles after that firing! Great pots, and great video! Very relaxing! Love it!
I'm glad you liked it, thanks for the feedback.

Very welcome
Very nice, relaxing and exciting all at the same time. Nailing a Salado firing isn't that easy.
Thanks Wes. Yes, it can be challenging.

@@AncientPotteryNo worries Andy. I just wanted to make sure you got it.

You should! Thanks

Wonderful, glad to provide some inspiration.
Those look gorgeous!
Thanks
This is unreal. I'll have to give this a shot.
Cool, do it.
Such a great job Andy!
This was great Andy!
Thanks!
Very cool.
I really want to see you tackle some ancient Mediterranean work.

@@AncientPottery your welcome
You are amazing.
Thanks
Very nice 👍
Thank you 👍
Amazing. Could you fire these pots at a higher temperature and still keep the colours?
That's a good question. I have never fired over about 1000 C so don't have the experience to answer that question.
Andy getting down 💯
Thanks
Wow, Wow, Wow - thank you so much.
Wish I could do that.
Lizzy from Aus.
👍🦘🐨🧡😊
Thanks, you can Lizzy.
Beautiful
Which tool did you use for smoothing? Looks like a stick..
A deer rib bone, next week's video will go into detail about these and other tools I use.
I don't believe I got notification about this new upload 😔
Sometimes the notifications are weird, coming days late or not at all, I really don't understand why that is.
When you use yucca fruit (which I have an abundance of) Do you boil down green or dry fruit? Also considering Brear Rabbit molassis for paint. Thanks, Michael
I use the ripe fruit of the Banana Yucca, which produces a fleshy fruit. I think the molasses will probably work too.
I would imagine that just about any organic paint would work. Molases might bubble anx bleed, though. No experience with doing this, just from a scientific perspective.
You can always thin it out if it's too thick. That's what I did when I was experimenting with kitchen materials for paint.
@@AncientPottery
Am I correct in the assumption that organic paints are merely a carbon source. Is there any other element, or mineral you may be looking for in one?
Once again great video thank you ! I am wondering if you sell any of your work. If so how can I obtain some.
Yes, on my website ancientpottery.how/shop/ Thanks!
Hi Andy can you please tell me the measurements of the puky thanks.
I have pukis of many different sizes. Some are only 3 inches across and others are 15 inches across. I select the size puki I want based on the size of pot I am making.
F... amazing! Do you know any of the symbology?
Thank you. I do know a little but tend not to talk about it because it's not really my place to interpret these. I would love to get a Native potter to help me with a video about that someday.

How to burn pottery without cracking
If you are having trouble with your pottery cracking, try adding more temper to your clay, also make sure to pre-heat the pottery well.
